A cold snap will hit China today and lower temperatures by as much as 16 degrees centigrade through the weekend, potentially straining the country’s energy supply and transportation and disrupting agricultural production.
The cold wave will be the most intense this autumn and will bring rain, snow and frost to the country’s northern and southeastern regions, the National Meteorological Center said on its website today. The spell of cold weather may persist until Oct. 26, according to the center.
