China News Service, Beijing, February 20th (Chen Hang) After the Spring Festival, Beijing's temperature started to "recover" mode.

Although the chill persisted on the morning of the 20th, the temperature continued to rise in the afternoon, breaking through the historical extreme value during the same period.

  The Beijing Municipal Meteorological Department reported on the 20th that the weather in Beijing continued to maintain a warming trend. The Southern Suburb Observatory reached 20°C at 14:45, breaking through the historical extreme value of the same period in February (19.8°C on February 13, 1996) until 15:00. The temperature at 50 minutes has reached 20.8℃.

  The warmth brought a hint of spring.

Many people took off their thick cotton clothes and put on singles to enjoy the warmth of the streets.

  Some netizens said on Weibo: "Today's weather made me suspect the return of Beijing spring", "I really like Beijing's spring", "It's just right to wear only two clothes outside"...

  The Beijing Municipal Meteorological Department stated that Beijing's annual (average from 1981 to 2010) spring time is March 30.

  Previous reports showed that the spring in Beijing in 2020 will be March 15, half a month earlier than normal.

The spring time is judged on the basis that the 5-day moving average temperature is calculated based on the current year’s temperature series to form a moving average temperature sequence. When the moving average temperature sequence is greater than or equal to 10°C for 5 consecutive days, the first one in the corresponding current year temperature sequence is used. The date greater than or equal to 10°C is regarded as the starting date of spring.

  Spring has not yet arrived, and the cold air is about to kill the "returning carbine."

With the "entanglement" of cold and warm air, Beijing's temperature in the next few days will be volatile like a "roller coaster".

  The Beijing Municipal Meteorological Department reminded that from the 21st, the temperature in Beijing will usher in a stepwise decline, and the maximum temperature will drop to 6°C from the 23rd to the 24th, a drop of more than 10°C compared with the current one.

Recently, the temperature has changed greatly, so people should adjust their clothing in time to avoid catching a cold.
