[Explanation] In the past few days, affected by the "Overlord" cold wave, many places across the country ushered in roller coaster-style cooling.

  [Explanation] According to the Hainan Meteorological Bureau issued a cold three-level warning at 16:40 on December 31, affected by strong cold air, there will be a continuous low temperature weather process in Hainan Island. It is expected that the night of the 31st will be in Chengmai, Lingao, Ding'an, etc. The minimum temperature in parts of the 8 cities and counties will drop to 7°C and below, and the minimum temperature in parts of the 5 cities and counties of Haikou, Wenchang, Ledong, Changjiang, and Dongfang will drop to 10°C and below.

It is reported that this strong cold air will lead to the coldest weather process in Hainan since the beginning of winter this year.

This round of "Overlord" cold wave hit, so that the tropical Hainan Island also called "cold."

  [Explanation] The reporter took to the streets on the 31st and saw that many citizens had already "covered" to travel. Not only did they wear gloves and snoods, but also put on down jackets and cotton trousers to keep themselves out of the cold, wrapping themselves in the cold wind. Be strict.

  [Concurrent] Citizen Ms. Li

  It's cold!

(Do you usually wear it like this?) Normally not, and usually wear short sleeves.

(Is this a down jacket today?) Yes, it is a down jacket.

(I think you still wear a bib.) They are all on.

(Do you think the winter in Hainan is also very cold?) The winter in Hainan is not necessarily. It will be colder in recent years. We used to wear skirts and short skirts during the Spring Festival.

It will be colder now.

(It's very cold this year?) Yes.

  [Concurrent] Citizen Mr. Li

  There was still a little sun a few days ago, but there has been no sun in the last two days.

The weather has dropped significantly, and most of the tropical fish we raised in our own family have died.

The heating rod was added later, which was better.

  [Concurrent] Citizen Aunt Li

  Young people can wear less, but it doesn’t matter, but our old people’s legs and feet need to be kept warm, so I put on the cotton trousers and down jackets I bring at home to feel warmer.

  [Explanation] Although this cold air is strong, it is not expected that the lowest temperature in Hainan Island will reach the historical extreme.

According to the Hainan Provincial Climate Center, Hainan also experienced weather below 0°C. On January 15, 1963, a minimum temperature of minus 1.4°C was observed in Baisha, Hainan.

  [Explanation] According to the Hainan Meteorological Department, during the New Year's Day holiday in 2021, the cold air will gradually weaken and the temperature in Hainan Island will rise slightly.
