China experienced severe cold and snowstorms over the weekend, with temperatures plummeting significantly below seasonal averages. Northern regions are facing the harshest conditions, with forecasts indicating temperature drops of over 10°C in some areas. The phenomena are primarily attributed to a weakening polar vortex and the Siberian high, funneling cold air southward. Meanwhile, weather changes are affecting Thailand, leading to cooler temperatures. In Alaska, extreme storm conditions resulted in heavy rain, strong winds, and blizzard warnings. The La Nina phenomenon is predicted to cause increased humidity and thunderstorms in the upcoming months.
According to the national meteorological department, the La Nina phenomenon is likely to bring strong south-easterly winds in the coming months, causing increased humidity and cooler-than-average temperatures.
Maximum temperatures in Shenyang are expected to plummet by more than 13C, while Yinchuan could tumble to -8C as snowstorms affect north-western China.
