CCTV News: According to the WeChat official account of "Voice of Culture and Tourism", the May Day holiday is approaching. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the China Meteorological Administration remind tourists to pay attention to weather changes and travel happily and safely.

1. Most meteorological conditions in the country are generally suitable for travel

It is expected that during the May Day holiday, the weather in the country will be better. In the early stage, most areas will be mainly sunny to cloudy weather, and in the later stage, there will be rainfall in Jiangnan, South China and other places. During holidays, most of the northern regions can reach the "comfortable" or "most comfortable" level for most of the time, which is generally suitable for travel.

Affected by cold air, from May 1 to 3, there will be strong winds and cooling weather in central and western Inner Mongolia, eastern Northwest, North China, Huanghuai and other places; there will be sandstorms in eastern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang Basin, western Inner Mongolia, western Gansu, central and northern Ningxia and other places. Tourists in the above areas should pay attention to adding or reducing clothes in time when traveling, and try to minimize outdoor stays in sandstorms and dusty weather to reduce adverse effects on human health. In addition, the ultraviolet intensity of the above-mentioned areas will reach the "strong" or "very strong" level during noon, and appropriate sun protection measures must be taken when traveling or outdoor activities.

2. Rainfall in the southern region will increase in later periods of the holidays, and it is recommended to strengthen safety precautions.

It is expected that from May 3 to 5, some areas in the eastern part of the southwest region, Jiangnan, South China and other places will have moderate to heavy rain, local heavy rain and strong convective weather. Affected by heavy rainfall, the meteorological risks of small and medium-sized rivers such as floods, mountain torrents, geological disasters in some areas of southern Jiangnan, northern South China and eastern Guizhou are high, and have a great impact on travel. It is recommended that tourists pay close attention to the weather forecast and make relevant schedules and necessary precautions in advance.
