A few days ago, the Central Meteorological Observatory held a cold wave blizzard ventilation meeting, and Fang Chong, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said in an interview that this round of strong cold air process has a large impact range, strong intensity, complex rain and snow phases, accompanied by strong convection, and extreme snowfall. According to him, the average first snowfall in the Northeast is usually from late November to early December, and the current snowfall is indeed slightly earlier than the average for the same period of the year, but it is not too early.
As for the reason for the occurrence of the blizzard, Dong Quan, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, explained that the blizzard was mainly caused by the convergence of cold and warm air, and the strong warm and humid airflow carried a large amount of water vapor from the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea to the northeast, resulting in a large amount of precipitation.
The meteorological department reminded that the Northeast and other places have experienced frequent snowfall and snowfall intensity in recent days, and it is necessary to prevent the adverse effects of road ice and snow on transportation.
Temperatures in many places will hit new lows
On November 11, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued four warnings of cold wave, heavy snow, strong wind, and strong convection. Affected by the cold wave weather, on the morning of November 4, the temperature in 11 provincial capitals including Beijing, Xi'an, and Hohhot hit a new low since autumn. In addition, the local cooling range in eastern Gansu, northern Shaanxi, eastern Inner Mongolia and other places reached 6~11 °C.
