City Express News This year's autumn in Hangzhou, it is really rare, almost a month has not rained, the sunshine is online every day, the temperature is not cold or hot, in addition to a little dry, the overall is quite comfortable.
I really hope that such a cool autumn day can be maintained forever.
This is, of course, just thinking about it. The Hangzhou Meteorological Observatory said that the balance of sunny days is already insufficient, and next week's temperature fluctuates greatly, and a big turning point in the weather is coming.
When it comes to weather turns, many people will think, is it going to be cold? After all, last November, we went from autumn to winter, officially entering winter on November 29.
However, this year, the sweatshirt will be changed not into a cotton coat, but a short sleeve. Surprised? The Municipal Meteorological Observatory predicts that the maximum temperature in Hangzhou will reach 27-29 °C on the 17-19th, straight to 30 °C. This is where to prepare for the appearance of winter, obviously it is summer.
In fact, although it is rare for Hangzhou to have temperatures above 30 °C in November, it is not the first time that the maximum temperature in November 1952 was 31.2 °C; the maximum temperature in November 2003 was 30.6 °C.
But in the end is not really summer, behind this crazy heating there is a push of cold air, the maximum temperature on the 20th will drop by 8 ° C at once, and return to the state of these days, around 21 ° C. This kind of fluctuating temperature is the most likely to induce a cold, and everyone must pay attention to reasonable dressing.
In the pull and pull of warm and humid air and cold air, the weather will turn from sunny to rain on the 19th, and there will be rain in the next period of time. In other words, to wash, to dry, to play, seize the time.
In addition, it should also be noted that tomorrow morning there may be heavy fog in local areas, visibility is low, and friends who have travel plans in the morning should pay attention to traffic safety.
Speaking of travel and play, in the circle of friends of Hangzhou, many netizens are posting on the Xixi Wetland, one is because the green causeway has just opened for free, and the other is that this time is the most beautiful season of Xixi Luhua, and the annual Xixi Listening Lu Festival is underway.

What's so fun to do with the free open Green Causeway? It is recommended to go to see the underwater sightseeing promenade, many people may not necessarily go through it, it is definitely a hidden corner of Xixi Wetland.
This underwater promenade is located in the Wetland Botanical Garden next to the Green Causeway, an area that cannot be reached by scenic cruise ships and battery cars, and can only be reached on foot. It is currently the longest underwater ecological tourism corridor in China with a length of 137 meters, a width of 3 meters, a height of 2.1 meters, and an acrylic glass with a thickness of 8 centimeters on both sides.
Enter from the entrance of the underwater sightseeing promenade and walk along the water boardwalk for a while, the scenery on both sides is beautiful, passing through a merlin and you will reach the main sightseeing area. Descending the stairs, the winding promenade, the fish on both sides swimming happily in the water, the visitor seems to have entered a large fish tank. The water quality here is actually not turbid, it looks a bit blurry, mainly because the algae moss on the inner wall of the glass obstructs the view.
In addition to a variety of fish, this season, you can also see floating water lilies, bowl lotuses and other floating plants on the water; reeds, calamus, wild calamus and other water plants; and Zaili flowers at the end of the promenade.
