Strong cold front to sweep China

BEIJING - A strong cold front coming from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region will drop temperatures in most parts of China in the next three days, the country's national observatory forecast Sunday.

Temperatures in most regions across the country will fall by four to eight degrees, along with strong winds, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.

Some northern regions will experience temperature drops from 10 to 12 degrees, it added.

Most parts of the country will see light to heavy rain in the next few days, and light to moderate snow may fall in parts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, the NMC said.
