China’s National Meteorological Center (NMC) has issued a comprehensive cold wave advisory affecting multiple northern regions, warning of severe temperature drops and adverse weather conditions expected over the coming ten-day period. According to the national observatory’s Monday announcement, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China provinces will experience particularly harsh conditions characterized by sharp temperature declines, strong gales, and significant snowfall.
The meteorological authority indicated that affected areas should anticipate temperatures running 2 to 5 degrees Celsius below seasonal averages, driven by successive waves of Arctic air masses. The prolonged cold spell poses substantial risks to agricultural operations and livestock management throughout the region.
Additionally, the NMC forecast sandy and dusty conditions across Inner Mongolia and Gansu province during the upcoming week, prompting recommendations for protective measures against combined wind, cold, and sandstorm hazards. Meteorological experts have advised agricultural sectors in winter wheat-growing regions to implement categorized management strategies to safeguard crops.
The center specifically recommended reinforcing greenhouse structures and livestock enclosures in advance throughout northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia to mitigate potential damage from the extreme cold. The advisory emphasizes proactive preparedness to reduce the compound impacts on farming communities and animal husbandry operations.
