On April 16, many northern mountainous provinces still maintained sunny weather, with hot sun in some places. However, according to forecasts from the meteorological agency, this hot weather pattern will soon decrease when weak cold air combines low pressure troughs and wind convergence causing widespread thunderstorms in the coming days.

Localized hot weather in low-lying areas is basically over.
