China will get colder in next 10 days with temperatures getting closer to or lower than the same period of last year, the Chinese central meteorological station said on Tuesday.

 

The station said that heavy fog will continue to blanket the north China plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and drizzle, moderate rain and showers will linger in southern China for most of the next 10 days.

 

Rain and snow will increase in northern China, severely affecting roads and flights.

 

The station said most regions will see rain and snow from November 24 to 26 and winds will reach force five to seven over the East China Sea around November 26.
