Sun Jun, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said: "The warm and humid airflow in the lower atmosphere develops eastward, and the cold and warm airflow meets in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The water vapor conditions and dynamic conditions are good, bringing rain and snow. "

The rainy and snowy weather in the south made the peak of Spring Festival travel rush return in the snow. Some trains were delayed and some highway entrances were temporarily closed.

After beginning of spring, the climate is getting warmer, which is a good time to prepare for the New Year. The continuous low temperature and rainy weather in the south makes the seeds ready to germinate "nervous". Rain and snow make the sunshine in the southern region obviously less, and the soil in some areas continues to be too wet, which is not good for the growth of wheat, vegetables and economic fruits. Local heavy snowfall may also cause damage and collapse of greenhouses in protected areas, which will affect the yield and quality of fruits and vegetables in protected areas.
