Today marks the beginning of the Frost’s Descent season on October 23rd, and for the next three days, Beijing will predominantly experience sunny weather with temperatures on the rise. By tomorrow and the day after, the maximum temperatures are expected to reach around 20°C. However, during this season, there’s a significant temperature difference between day and night, with cooler mornings and evenings, so it’s advisable for the public to dress warmly.
Yesterday morning, residents felt the chill of the north winds accompanied by light rain. Fortunately, by the afternoon, the skies cleared up and the winds calmed, but as temperatures dropped overnight, the morning at 6 AM saw a chilly 2.5°C at the southern outskirts of Beijing.
This morning, Beijing enjoyed a clear sky, signaling a transition as Frost’s Descent indicates the onset of cooler weather and the arrival of the first frosts. As the last solar term of autumn, it’s a key period marking the transition to winter. The forecast for the next three days indicates sunny weather, which will lead to an increase in maximum temperatures, although minimum temperatures will still be low, contributing to the notable day-night temperature variations.
According to the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, today’s weather will be predominantly sunny with a mix of clouds. Winds will shift from north to south at levels two to three, with a high of 18°C during the day. Tonight, it will be clear with winds shifting from south to north at levels one to two, dropping to a low of 5°C. By tomorrow and the day after, highs are expected to reach 20°C.
Meteorological experts advise that while the next few days will feature sunny weather and rising temperatures, the stark temperature swings call for outdoor precautions. It’s essential for individuals to wear extra layers in the mornings and evenings to prevent catching colds.
