Cold front to chill China

BEIJING, Feb 3, 2018, (BSS/Xinhua) — A cold front will chill most parts of
central and eastern China, with strong wind and temperature drops in the next
several days, the national observatory said.

The National Meteorological Center (NMC) on Saturday forecast temperatures
to fall by four to six degrees Celsius in Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang and
Jiangxi provinces by Sunday due to north wind sweeping across the regions.

Some areas will see declines up to eight degrees, the NMC said, adding that
the country’s northeastern part will also be affected.

Meanwhile, southwest China’s Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will
have snow or sleet till Monday, with heavy snow fall expected in some places.

The NMC has advised residents to take precautions against the cold weather
and icy roads.
