Last updated: 2019-12-04 12:36The weather has become significantly cooler in recent days and will drop to 12 degrees Celsius tomorrow (5th). The Observatory said that as a strong monsoon replenishment will reach the coast of Guangdong tomorrow and a cloud band will bring rainy weather, it is forecast to have the opportunity to issue the first cold weather warning since winter this year.
The Assistant Director of the Observatory Zheng Chuming said that it would be rainy due to a strong monsoon replenishment and the influence of a tropical cyclone outer rain belt. Tomorrow will be significantly colder, or it will drop to 12 degrees. "It may not feel cold when you return to work and school, but it will obviously be freezing at night." Consider issuing a cold weather warning tonight. The weather will be cold and windy in the next few days; as the monsoon moderates early next week, the temperature will gradually rise.
Only three days last winter, the temperature was 12 degrees Celsius or below, which is the lowest on record. The Observatory announced a new winter quarterly forecast (December 2019 to February 2020). It is expected that the average temperature this winter will be "normal to High "or warm winter. Zheng Chuming said that the weak winter monsoon affecting South China this year, coupled with the absence of El Niño or La Niña, global warming, etc., it is estimated that there is little chance of encountering severe cold this year.

After the winter, the number of elders asking for help also increased. Wang Honghong, Chief Executive Officer of the Elderly Homes Association, said that the number of "first-line security bells" for help increased from about 2,000 on weekdays to 20,400 yesterday. . She said that even if the weather didn't cool down significantly, the sudden temperature change would also make them suddenly feel uncomfortable, reminding users that they were uncomfortable calling for help through the bell.
She suggested that the elderly should eat more high-calorie and digestible foods and drinks, such as hot milk and hot soup. In addition, the elderly need to add clothing to keep warm, but do not wear excessive bloated and tight clothing, so as not to affect blood circulation and cause fainting; the use of electric heaters need to open windows to maintain indoor air circulation.
