Cold snap to sweep through China

CHINA'S central and eastern regions will experience temperature drops in coming days, while the southern parts will receive moderate to heavy rain, the national meteorological watchdog forecast today.

Strong wind will make temperatures in northeastern regions fall by six to ten degrees Celsius today. A blast of cold air is forecast to sweep across the central and eastern parts from tomorrow, the National Meteorological Center said on its website.

The center also forecast that fog will shroud parts of Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces this morning, reducing visibility to less than 1,000 meters.

Over the next three days, parts of South China will see moderate to heavy rain, and some regions may experience torrential rain, the center said.

Son-Tinh, the 23rd tropical storm of the year, strengthened to a super-typhoon last night and was located 260 km southeast of Vietnam's Thanh Hoa at 5am today.

Son-Tinh is expected to move northwestward at a speed of 10 to 15 km per hour and make landfall in Vietnam's northern coastal regions tonight, the center said.
