In the next 24-48 hours, the continental cold high pressure will be strengthened again in the North. Northeast winds will be strong in the sea area in the Southeast region. Above, the subtropical high pressure will have its axis through the South Central - Southern region and tend to gradually encroach to the West. At the same time, easterly wind disturbances will operate well in the Southern region.

Around January 9-10, this high pressure tends to weaken and retreat to the East; by about January 12, it will continue to strengthen again in an East-facing direction.
Northeast winds maintain strong intensity over the sea area in the Southeast region. Above, the high subtropical pressure raises the axis to the North and maintains a stable intensity; around January 9-10, the high pressure axis will pass through the North Central region.
The weather in the South is generally dry, the air humidity is reduced, it is necessary to prevent the risk of fire and explosion at a high level. On some days, the weather is chilly at night and early morning, while during the day it is sunny, which can affect people's health.
