China recorded the first cold front of this winter in the coming days, with colder-than-normal weather conditions across the country.
China's weather forecasting agency said that temperatures will drop by more than 10 degrees Celsius in many areas until November 17. This cold air mass affects many densely populated areas in central and eastern China. The gusts of wind will increase the feeling of cold.
In addition, a strong high pressure system is pushing cold air flows down from the north, causing temperatures to drop sharply as the cold air mass moves south.
The lowest temperature is expected to be recorded in northern China on November 17 while the lowest temperature in southern China will occur on November 18.
China's weather forecasters point out that the latest cold spell will not last long and temperatures will return to normal levels by mid-next week.
According to weather forecasts, this winter is expected to be warmer than average across China, but the southern regions of the country are forecast to be colder than normal.
rainfall is expected to be above average in the north and below average in the south, including Guangdong and Yunnan.
The first cold spell of the season is expected to affect electricity demand in China. Traders predict that China's demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) for heating will remain low this winter after previous forecasts showed a warm winter and abundant inventories.
