Hold onto your hats, Guangdong residents, because winter is roaring back with a vengeance! From February 22nd to 25th, a powerful cold front is set to descend upon the province, bringing not just a significant drop in temperatures, but also rain, and even a taste of sleet in some areas. Get ready for a taste of the Arctic as this icy intruder arrives.
The cold front launches its offensive on February 22nd morning, first targeting the northern reaches of Guangdong. By nightfall, it reaches Guangzhou, and by February 23rd morning, the entire province, including the southern coastal areas, will be feeling its frosty grip.
Be prepared for a dramatic cooldown, especially in Shaoguan and Qingyuan where temperatures are expected to plummet by a staggering 10-15°C. Other regions won’t escape the chill, with a 5-8°C drop on the cards. So, ditch the shorts and t-shirts and dig out your winter warmers – you’ll need them!
Don’t forget your umbrella! Light to moderate rain is forecast across the province, primarily in the northern and central regions. Be extra cautious in Shaoguan, Qingyuan, and Zhaoqing where localized heavy rain and even sleet could make an appearance.
Rug up for those chilly nights! Lows will range from a bone-chilling 3-5°C in the north to a more tolerable 12-16°C in the south. The rest of the province can expect lows of 8-12°C. Time to dust off your warmest pajamas and blankets.
