Abrupt Plunge in Temperatures Expected in China Following Year of Extreme Weather Conditions

Northern Chinese towns to experience a drop of up to 20 degrees Celsius within days following unusually warm weather, while smog and haze conditions persist due to weak cold air currents.

Northern Chinese cities will experience a drastic temperature drop of up to 20 degrees Celsius in a matter of days after unusually warm weather, due to a combination of cold air currents.
The extreme fluctuation in temperature extends a year-long trend of unusual swings in weather across China, including unseasonably hot and cold spells, and severe typhoons causing flooding.
Persistent smog and hazy conditions in cities like Beijing are attributed to weak cold air currents, dropping visibility to below 200 meters in certain regions like Hebei Province.
Over 600 meteorological stations across China recorded record-breaking highs for November, with cities in eastern and central provinces such as Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and Henan registering temperatures above 30C.
China plans to issue 1 trillion yuan ($137 billion) of sovereign bonds to help rebuild areas impacted by this year's extreme weather conditions and improve urban infrastructure for future disaster resilience.
