China News Service, February 7 (Xinhua) The China Meteorological Administration held a press conference for February 2024 on the 7th. At the meeting, Zhang Hengde, deputy director of the National Meteorological Center, introduced that since January 31, low-temperature rain, snow and freezing weather have occurred in central and eastern my country, with precipitation significantly higher and temperatures lower in most areas.
Before the Spring Festival holiday: On the 7th, there will still be rain, snow and freezing weather in Hunan, Guizhou and other places. There will still be snow or sleet in some areas in the northern and western parts of Jiangnan and the eastern part of Southwest China. In the mountainous areas of central and eastern Guizhou, central and southern Hunan and northwest Jiangxi, There was freezing rain in some areas in the mountainous areas of central and southern Zhejiang, but the snowfall and freezing rain were weaker than before; there were heavy rains in parts of southern Jiangnan and southern China. It is necessary to pay attention to the impact of the above-mentioned rain and snow weather on Spring Festival transportation traffic. On the 8th, the snowfall and freezing weather in the southern region tended to end, but Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other places need to be wary of secondary disasters that may be caused by rising temperatures and melting snow and ice.
Zhang Hengde pointed out that during the Spring Festival holiday, there were no disastrous weather conditions such as widespread rain, snow, ice, persistent fog, and haze across the country. We are mainly concerned about strong winds, cooling and rainy and snowy weather in the central and eastern regions during the middle and late Spring Festival holiday; there are intermittent fog or haze weather in Huanghuai and along the coast of South China. We need to pay attention to the impact on transportation, cultural tourism, energy supply, etc. during the Spring Festival, as follows:
The first is to pay attention to the impact of rain, snow and cooling in the central and eastern regions on transportation and tourism and cultural activities during the Spring Festival. From the 14th to the 17th, there was a large-scale cooling in the central and eastern regions. There was significant snowfall in eastern Inner Mongolia and the central and northern parts of Northeast China. There was rainfall in Jianghan, Jiangnan and other places. During the rain and snow, visibility was low and the ground was slippery, which could easily lead to traffic jams or accidents. , attention needs to be paid to its adverse impact on festival transportation, cultural tourism, energy supply, etc. At the same time, attention must be paid to the eastern sea area to prevent the impact of strong winds on shipping and island-related tourism.
Second, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other places have experienced excessive rainfall in the early stage, so we need to be alert to secondary disasters that may be caused by rising temperatures, melting snow, ice and precipitation. At present, there are varying degrees of snow and ice in some areas in Hubei, northern Hunan, Anhui and other places. We need to be alert to possible landslides, collapses and other disasters caused by melting snow, melting ice and precipitation caused by rising temperatures, as well as outdoor long-span frame structures. , simple greenhouses, facility agricultural scaffolding, etc. safety hazards.
The third is to pay attention to the impact of haze on transportation and human health in North China, Huanghuai and other places. In addition, some areas in western North China, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places have higher forest fire risk meteorological levels and need to prevent the occurrence of fires.
Fourth, the coastal areas of South China need to pay attention to the impact of heavy fog on shipping and coastal tourism. There will be intermittent heavy fog in the coastal areas of South China, the Beibu Gulf, and the Qiongzhou Strait. Pay attention to the possible impact on navigation and coastal tourism.
