The "Great Cold" festival is "worthy of the name", and a large wave of rain is about to land in Shanghai

The extreme of the cold is called the great cold. Today (January 20th), the "Great Cold" festival that has been dormant for a winter has arrived as promised, and the "finale" of the twenty-four solar terms has appeared. At the coldest time of the year, the cold air of the "scavengers" also arrived on time. The temperature dropped from the north wind, and the maximum temperature in Shanghai fell back to single digits. Today's day 4 to 7 ° C, northeast wind 3 to 4, the wind chill effect is even more aggravated by the cold body feeling.

While the cold air is moving south, the warm and humid air flow in the southwest is also active and strengthened again. The cold and warm air are tit-for-tat, so that the southern region, which has just taken a breath, will usher in a new round of precipitation.

The impact of this rain and snow process is from January 20 to 24, and most of the central and eastern regions will be covered by rain and snow. According to the analysis of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the impact range of rain and snow weather will involve more than 25 provinces (cities, districts), which is the most extensive precipitation process affecting the mainland this year. The overall rain and snow process has the characteristics of wide influence range, complex precipitation phase and long precipitation duration. Snowfall is the main thing in the north, and rain is the main rainfall in the south because the temperature is not low enough. The rain-snow dividing line is roughly located along the Huai River.

According to the analysis of experts from the China Meteorological Administration, starting from today, many places in the south will fall into a continuous rainy pattern, and for some areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other regions, the state of sunshine scarcity may last until the Lunar New Year.

Under the cover of the largest range of rain and snow in the mainland this year, Shanghai will also have wet and gloomy weather. The most obvious precipitation period is this Saturday, this rainy process will be dragged to next Monday (24th), Tuesday (25th) rainy intermission, Wednesday (26th) a new round of precipitation began to affect Shanghai. Because the cold and warm air is in the situation of "warm and strong, cold and weak", shanghai's geographical location is mainly warm and wet, and there will be no snowfall, but the wet and cold feeling that is cold to the bone may not be shaken off.
