BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- A strong cold front will hit most of China from Saturday to next Wednesday, bringing low temperatures and snow, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said on Thursday.
The cold front will first lash Xinjiang, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia. Temperatures in the regions will drop by up to 20 degrees Celsius, according to the NMC.
No strong cold fronts have affected China since mid-November and thus, most parts enjoyed warmer temperatures in the past 10 days. The temperatures were higher than the previous years by up to 6 degrees Celsius.
But this cold wave will bring temperatures in the regions significantly lower than the previous years, the NMC forecast. ■
