Hangzhou: The lowest temperature is about 4℃! The impact of the cold air will not end until tomorrow. It is difficult to say whether winter will begin!

As the cold air moves southward, the south will become the "main frontier" for cooling today and tomorrow. The maximum temperature line of 10℃ will retreat to the Yangtze River, and the 20℃ line will retreat to the coast of South China.

At the same time, the minimum temperature of 0℃ will continue to press southward, reaching Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and central Hubei tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The Hangzhou Meteorological Observatory said that cold air began to reach Hangzhou yesterday evening, and the north wind was still howling in Hangzhou this morning. Judging from the mesoscale meteorological monitoring data in Hangzhou, northerly winds of level 6-7 occurred in most areas of Hangzhou, and the winds in the high mountainous areas of Lin'an were stronger (level 8).

This time the cold air moved faster, moving southward almost at lightning speed, so that the temperature dropped slowly and could not keep up with the cold air. From 14:00 yesterday afternoon to 08:00 this morning, the temperature in Hangzhou has been steadily declining. The temperature in Hangzhou was 23℃ at 14:00 yesterday, and it was only 9.3℃ at 08:00 this morning.

Winter entered overnight

Although the temperature dropped to nearly 14℃, which seems to be a significant cooling, the main reason is that the temperature yesterday was so high that short-sleeved shirts and short-sleeved shirts appeared. The coexistence of down jackets. If you look at today’s daytime temperature alone, it was 9 to 10 degrees Celsius from morning to morning, which is not particularly cold. Thinking back to today last year (November 30, 2022), Hangzhou experienced a cold wave weather process, and significant snowfall occurred in many areas.

Winter has truly entered in Hangzhou overnight. Snowflakes have fallen in high mountainous areas such as Lin'an Tianmu Mountain, and beautiful and freezing rime has appeared in Daming Mountain. On December 1, 2022, there was also snow in downtown Hangzhou. The climate background this year is very different from last year. It is too dry this year. There is a lot of cold air, but its intensity is limited. In addition, there is a serious lack of water vapor. There are not even many clouds. It is difficult to get a little rain, let alone snow.
