On February 1, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange freezing warning for the first time. This was the highest level freezing warning issued since my country established freezing warning standards in 2010.
From February 1st to 4th, there will be persistent freezing rain in parts of southern Henan, Hubei, central and northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu,central and northern Hunan, eastern Guizhou, and southeastern Chongqing. This will be the strongest winter since 2009, with the central and eastern regions being the main affected areas.
