A major cold wave is set to sweep central and eastern China this week, bringing heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and travel chaos during the critical Spring Festival rush. 🌨️ The National Meteorological Center warns travelers to prepare for disruptions as temperatures plummet to -31.8°C in some areas!
Starting Wednesday, provinces like Hubei and Guangxi will face icy conditions, while Qinghai battles continuous snowstorms through Saturday. ❄️ Regions along the Yangtze River basin aren’t spared either—moderate rain and sleet could turn roads into slippery challenges.
💡 Pro tip for adventurers: Check weather apps hourly if you’re heading to Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia, where snowy highways are already causing slowdowns. The Lunar New Year getaway just got a frosty plot twist!
