China's National Meteorological Center said on Monday that northeast China will be hit by another round of heavy snow amid the second coldwave to hit the region in November.
The center on Monday issued a yellow alert for cold waves, forecasting low temperatures and gales in some parts of the country. Temperatures are expected to fall by 6 to 10 degrees Celsius in vast regions of the country, and up to 16 degrees Celsius in northeast China.
The three provinces in the northeast: Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang will see heavy snow from Tuesday to Thursday, with blizzard predicted in certain regions.
The region has just been blanketed by snow in the first round of a coldwave in early November, during which cold weather and winter storms forced hundreds of flights to be rescheduled and schools closed.

The center also forecast strong winds in parts of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, the Taiwan Strait, the Bashi Channel and the South China Sea on Monday and Tuesday, with a blue alert for heavy winds renewed at 6 a.m. Monday.
Ships sailing in waters affected by the strong winds are urged to pay attention to navigation safety and relevant transport authorities are advised to take necessary measures to ensure safe transportation operations, the center said.
China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system for strong winds, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
