Early January likely to be warmer than normal
China DailyEarly next month, cold air activity is forecast to remain relatively weak across most of China, resulting in higher-than-average temperatures, an official with the National Climate Center said on Monday. Xiao Chan, deputy director of the center, said northern regions in the country may experience temperature increases of 3 to 4 C above the seasonal norm, while most other areas will be 1 to 2 C warmer. Meanwhile, most regions will experience sparse rainfall, but eastern parts of Southwest China are likely to see significantly above-average rain and snow accumulation, he added. On New Year's Day, most regions in the country will remain dry, with only light snow or localized moderate-to-heavy snow in areas such as northern Xinjiang and parts of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
