China activates alert ahead of arrival of strong cold front

The national meteorological department forecast the persistence of the phenomenon through Saturday, urging the authorities to take action as violent storms, rainfall, snow and a high concentration of sand are expected in different parts of the territory.

He also called for the protection of agriculture and urged the population to avoid unnecessary roads and take appropriate precautions.

As expected, the regions of Xinjiang, Hebei, Chongqing and Hunan will experience the lowest temperatures and rainfall, while the north and north-east of the country will be hit by sandstorms.

In addition, thick fog will hit Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hainan provinces, reducing visibility on public roads to less than 200 meters.

Last year, millions of people in China were affected by natural phenomena such as unprecedented drought and extreme heat.

Also this winter goes by with warm temperatures.
