CCTV News: According to China Weather Network, affected by strong cold air, the weather in central and eastern my country is very complicated for three days (April 11 to 13), with heavy cooling, strong rain and snow, strong convection, strong winds and sandstorms appearing one after another. It should be noted that local gusts of 12 to 13 may occur in local areas in the eastern part of the northwest region, North China, eastern Huanghuai, etc., local areas in the northeast may encounter heavy blizzards. The southern region will face the strongest wind and hail weather this year. It is recommended that the public minimize going out and pay attention to safety.

Many places in the central and eastern regions will face severe cooling. When wind and sand hit in the northern region, we need to be wary of extreme winds. Since April, the temperature in most parts of the country has been mainly rebounding. The process of spring in the north continues to advance northward, and the south is warmer. Yesterday, the maximum temperature of 20℃ line rushed north to northern Heilongjiang, with the maximum temperature in central and southern North China and some areas south of North China exceeding 25℃, and many places along the Yangtze River exceeding 30℃.
