Despite entering November, China is still experiencing relatively warm weather. From November 1 to 2, temperatures in many parts of China will continue to warm up, especially in the regions from north China to the Yangtze River Delta, where some areas may experience unusually warm conditions for this time of year. Some areas are seeing temperatures about 10 degrees Celsius higher than usual for this time of year, including the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu, and more. Cities like Jinan, Zhengzhou, and Shijiazhuang may even break their local November temperature records, with Jinan's lowest temperature today being 21 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous record of 18.7 degrees Celsius.

However, as cold air arrives, temperatures in various regions will gradually return to normal or even lower than usual for this time of year after November 3. Around November 5, many areas from northeast China to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are expected to experience new lows in temperatures for the year. Experts advise the public to adjust their clothing accordingly based on these temperature changes.

Additionally, regions like north China will continue to experience fog and haze. Poor atmospheric dispersion conditions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will lead to light to moderate haze, and some areas in central north China may even experience severe haze. People are advised to take precautions for their health when going outside. Starting from tomorrow night, as influenced by the cold air, atmospheric dispersion conditions in these regions will gradually improve, and the haze will gradually dissipate from north to south.

Snowfall is expected in regions like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and northeast China. Some areas may even see heavy snowfall, so the local public should be cautious of slippery roads, ice, and the potential impact on travel.
