A new cold front will begin affecting China on Oct. 15, pushing temperatures in
many northern areas to seasonal lows. After the drop, daytime highs across much
of the north will be below 20°C; parts of the Northwest, northern North China
and the Northeast will see highs under 10°C, with colder mornings and an
accelerated onset of winter in multiple locations. The system will also bring
widespread rain and snow. Cold outbreaks have been frequent since October,
driving northern temperatures lower; a current system is affecting the Northeast
and is producing the lowest readings since H2 this year—Harbin and Changchun
highs around 10°C, and Harbin’s minimum is forecast to fall below 0°C tomorrow.
