There is still freezing rain in parts of central and eastern Guizhou, southeastern Chongqing, most of Hunan, northwestern Jiangxi, southern mountainous areas of Anhui, and southwestern mountainous areas of Zhejiang.
The meteorological department reminded that there will be a wide range of precipitation in the southern region in the next three days, and the impact of rain and snow will be large, long-lasting, and the precipitation phase will be complex. Starting on the 9th, the precipitation in the south is expected to end completely.

Warming is imminent in most of the north
The temperature is low before Chinese New Year's Eve in many places in the south
Since the 5th, most of the precipitation in the north has stopped, and the temperature has also risen. On the 7th, most of them turned higher than the average for the same period of the year, and the warming momentum will continue into the Year of the Dragon. Around the first day of the Lunar New Year, the maximum temperature in North China, Huanghuai and other places will reach 10 °C, and about 15 °C locally.
For example, in Zhengzhou, the maximum temperature will climb from 3 °C from tomorrow, reaching 12 °C on the 9th, and further rising to 15 °C on the 10th; the maximum temperature in Tianjin will rise to 7 °C on the 9th and Shijiazhuang will be 9 °C, both of which may set a new high this year.
The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were suppressed by rain and snow, and the temperature remained low before Chinese New Year's Eve. At the beginning of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, most of the southern region will also start with warmth. In the city, the maximum temperature in Wuhan and Nanjing in the next three days will only be 0~2 °C, and it will jump to more than 10 °C in one fell swoop on the 10th.
Heavy snow and freezing rain are superimposed

There is light snow in the northern part of North China, Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula, sleet or freezing rain in the south of Hunan and Anhui, and Changsha, Qingdao and Hohhot airports are more affected. Due to the low de-icing efficiency of Wuhan Airport, the current airport departure normal rate is 35%.
Affected by freezing rain and heavy snow, many trains at Wuhan Railway Station in Hubei Province were delayed and suspended. Wuhan's Hankou Station, Wuhan Station, Wuchang Station, etc., have all experienced a certain degree of personnel stranding. The Wuhan railway department reminds passengers to pay close attention to railway suspensions, delays and other information.

How to drive safely in freezing rain?
In freezing rain conditions, you should pay attention to road condition information in time when you go out. Viaducts, bridges, culverts, and tunnels are most prone to icing, so try to avoid driving on these sections in the early morning and at night.
- Pay attention to check the wipers to drive away the fog on the way
Check the wipers before driving out, if there is water mist in the windows, you should turn the air conditioner to the windshield, and the tuyere should be turned to the windshield, and use the wind to drive the fog away. Remember not to open the external circulation, as this will bring more moisture from the outside of the car into the car, causing the water mist to get worse and worse.
- Don't brake suddenly, don't hit the direction sharply
When the road surface is icy in freezing rain, try to reduce your speed when driving to avoid emergency braking and emergency steering. When you need to slow down, you can control it by pressing the accelerator to avoid slamming on the brakes.
When driving the vehicle to steer, it is necessary to slow down first, appropriately increase the turning radius, and slow down the steering wheel to avoid the loss of control of the car body.
- Reduce lane changes and overtaking, and increase vehicle distances
In the case of ice on the ground, the braking distance on the road is two to three times that of the dry road, and attention should be paid to maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles in the lateral and longitudinal directions, and minimizing back and forth merging, changing lanes and overtaking.
- Proper use of on-board lights
Poor visibility in freezing rain, turn on low beams, marker lights and front fog lights when driving. If the rain is heavy, turn on the rear fog lights to make it easier for the car behind to find its location.
- Slow down on shady roads
Drivers should also pay attention to road conditions. The same section of road surface may also be different due to different yin and yang surfaces, different sunlight exposure intensity, etc., resulting in different slippery road surfaces. When turning into a shady road, slow down.
