On February 17, a new round of large-scale rain and snow weather began, and the temperature in most parts of the country continued to be low.

Yesterday (February 16), the third round of large-scale rain and snow weather this month has officially kicked off. There will be rain and snow in the northwest and North China all the way to Jiangnan and South China, and the dividing line between rain and snow is still located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Today and tomorrow, the precipitation in Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Hubei and Anhui is strong, and the phase of rain and snow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is complicated. Most areas will be dominated by sleet and wet snow, and the road surface is slippery. Public travel in these areas needs to pay special attention to traffic safety.

Rain and snow are coming! There is heavy snow in Gansu, Shaanxi, Anhui and other places, and rain surges in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past few days, there has been almost no rain and snow in China, especially in the southern areas where it has been raining frequently since February. Rain and snow also pressed the "pause button", and sunshine appeared in many places. However, since yesterday, a new round of rain and snow weather has quietly started. Rain and snow in Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei and other places have gradually come online, such as Ili Valley in Xinjiang and along Tianshan Mountain, central and eastern Gansu, Ningxia, central and southeastern Shaanxi, Hetao area in Inner Mongolia, southwestern Shanxi, western and southern Henan, southeastern Henan, northwestern Hubei, central Anhui, northern Zhejiang and other places, with small to medium snow and local heavy snow, southeastern Henan, central Anhui and northern Zhejiang.

In addition, moderate rain and local heavy rain also occurred in parts of western Sichuan Basin, eastern Hunan, Jiangxi, south-central Zhejiang, northwestern Fujian, southeastern Guangxi, western Guangdong and northern Hainan Island yesterday.

Today, the rain and snow weather in most of the above areas will continue. Among them, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, western Hubei, northwestern Hunan and other places are still dominated by pure snow, and some areas are as heavy as snowstorms; The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are dominated by sleet or wet snow, and it may turn rainy tomorrow afternoon; Most areas in the south of the Yangtze River are still dominated by rainfall, and some areas such as Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Guangxi have strong rainfall.

Specifically, today, there are small to medium snow or sleet in parts of eastern and southwestern Inner Mongolia, southern Xinjiang basin, eastern Tibet, northern and southeastern Qinghai, most of Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, most of Shanxi, northwestern Hebei, northwestern Beijing, western and southern Henan, central and southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, central and western Zhejiang, western Hubei, northwestern Hunan, northeastern Guizhou and northern Sichuan Plateau. Among them, some areas in western and southeastern Gansu, southwestern Shaanxi, central Anhui, northwestern Zhejiang, southwestern Jiangsu and northwestern Hunan have heavy snowstorms (10 ~ 13mm). There is little to moderate rain in most parts of South China, with heavy rain (25 ~ 40mm) in parts of central and southern Hunan, central Jiangxi, southern Zhejiang, northern Fujian and eastern Guangxi.

It is worth noting that in the next few days, the rain and snow stages in Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places will be more complicated, and there may be rain and snow conversion, which will not only cause poor visibility, but also cause slippery roads, ice and snow. At present, during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush, the local public still need to plan their travel time reasonably according to the weather forecast.

The cold air rain and snow mass "caused trouble", and the temperature in most parts of the country continued to be low.

In terms of temperature, there are two cold air streams, one east and one west, which affect our country. Under the attack of frequent cold air, rain and snow, the temperature in many parts of the country dropped significantly, and the temperature in most areas continued to be low.

In the north, north China, Huanghuai and other places where the temperature has dropped to a low level in the early stage, it is still difficult for the temperature to improve in the next few days. The highest temperature in Taiyuan and Tianjin will hover below 5℃ in the next three days, and the chill is pressing.

The south, which has just warmed up briefly, will once again fall into a "wet and cold period". It is estimated that the highest temperature in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be only around 5℃ today and tomorrow. The temperature in South China will also drop significantly. The highest temperature in Nanning today can reach 18℃, and it will drop to only about 8℃ on the 20th, which may be another "seasonal" cooling for the local public.

Looking forward to the later period, it is expected that by the end of February, most parts of China will maintain this cold pattern, and it will not be until March that the low temperature pattern in most parts of central and eastern China will improve. At that time, friends may also feel some breath of early spring.
