The impact of this strong cold air has the characteristics of large cooling range, wide range of rain and snow, and complex precipitation phases. In addition, there will be northerly winds of magnitude 4 to 5 and gusts of magnitude 6 to 8 in the northern part of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
