Heavy fog will continue to blanket the country's central and eastern parts this morning, China's weather authority said yesterday, while a cold spell will hold its grip on most regions, bringing rainfall and snow over the next two days.
Fog and haze will decrease visibility to less than 1,000 meters in north China and some southern areas, the National Meteorological Center said, urging people in these regions to drive slowly for safety reasons.
A cold front plowing through most parts of the country will cause rain and snow, dragging down temperatures by four to six degrees Celsius in central and eastern regions. In central China's Hunan Province, heavy fog shrouded the capital city of Changsha and traffic was hampered as visibility was lowered.
Rain and snow will fall in the northern parts of north China, Tibet, northwest China, southwest China and regions south of the Yangtze River over the next two days, the center said.
A snowstorm that began on Sunday night in the Tacheng Prefecture in northwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region stranded hundreds of travelers on the road with heavy snow and gales reducing visibility to zero.
