Now we have entered the peak period of returning home before the holidays. How will the rain and snow weather develop in the next few days? What impact will it have on travel during the peak return period? According to Wang Weiyue, a meteorological analyst at the China Weather Network, from today to around New Year’s Eve, rain and snow weather will significantly converge in most areas of the north; while in the south, as warm and humid air currents are still active, widespread rain and snow weather will continue until New Year’s Eve.

Under the influence of snowfall, the road surface is slippery, and vehicles must turn slowly to avoid rollover accidents.

Anyone purchasing air tickets to the above areas is advised to pay close attention to the nowcast and prepare alternative travel plans.
In addition to snowfall, Guizhou, Hunan and other places will also face the test of freezing rain during the peak period of returning home. Freezing rain weather is often accompanied by low temperatures, which not only brings the risk of ice accumulation on roads and tracks, but also damages the railway power grid, thus affecting the normal operation of the railway. It is expected that some sections of the Jiaoliu Line, Beijing-Guangzhou Line, and Shanghai-Kunming Line may be affected tomorrow.

Among them, the rainfall in northern Fujian, Jiangxi, central and southern Hunan and other places is relatively strong, or there is moderate to heavy rain. The local area needs to pay attention to the possibility that continuous rainfall or local heavy rainfall may cause geological disasters. The public must keep a safe distance between vehicles and slow down when driving. Never brake suddenly to avoid rear-end collisions.
