How will the weather be on New Year’s Day 2023?

Introduction: The countdown to New Year’s Day has begun. Where do you plan to go on New Year’s Day? According to the holiday arrangement notice, there will be a three-day holiday on New Year's Day in 2023, and the holidays will not be adjusted, so everyone can play with confidence. However, you should also consider the weather conditions when traveling. It is best to choose a place with a warmer climate. So, what will the weather be like on New Year's Day 2023? Will the weather be cold during the 2023 New Year's Day holiday? Let’s find out together.

What will the weather be like on New Year's Day 2023?

The first "triple" La Niña event in this century. However, according to the forecast opinion of my country's climate trend this winter given by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the winter monsoon affecting my country this winter is generally weak. Except for northern Xinjiang, northern North China, most of Northeast China, and the southeastern coastal areas where the temperature is lower than normal for the same period of the year, the temperature in the rest of the country is close to normal or higher than the same period of the year. At the same time, affected by seasonal fluctuations in atmospheric circulation, the possibility of strong cooling caused by periodic strong cold air activities cannot be ruled out. In terms of precipitation, northern Xinjiang and north-central Northeast China have slightly more precipitation than normal; normal precipitation in the Yangtze River Basin and areas south of it is slightly less than normal, which is not conducive to alleviating drought in this region.

The continuation of the complex climate environment brings new challenges

La Niña events are only one of the climate forcing factors affecting my country's winter climate, and there is no need to talk about the "color change" of La Niña. However, it is still necessary to predict the potential impact of La Niña and improve prevention efforts: short and medium-term weather forecasts and climate trend predictions of more than two weeks should be strengthened to improve prevention and early warning of freezing rain and snow disasters; at the same time, agriculture and livestock The industry, energy and transportation industries need to pay close attention to early warnings of freezing rain and snow disasters and formulate effective preventive measures and emergency plans. In addition, we need to pay close attention to the serious disasters caused by the drought that is likely to last until next spring in most areas south of the Yangtze River.

In October this year, for the first time in our country, two warnings of high temperature and cold wave were issued at the same time. This summer, there was also a situation of "flood in the north and drought in the south". The current climate environment is complex and changeable, posing many new challenges to scientific research and climate forecasting.

From the perspective of scientific research, the emergence and persistence of complex climate environments have broadened the horizons of scientists to a certain extent, allowing them to view compound meteorological disasters from a more comprehensive perspective and carry out relevant Mechanism research. At the same time, from the perspective of climate prediction, this has also greatly increased the research difficulty for scientists. It is necessary to strengthen the basic theory and prediction research on the outbreak of compound meteorological disaster events, and then break through the prediction bottleneck technology, through in-depth study and judgment of the circulation when compound meteorological disaster events occur. Characteristics and mechanisms, deeply reveal the formation mechanism of composite meteorological disaster events, and improve the ability to predict composite meteorological disaster events on a quarterly to seasonal scale and the scientific and technological support capabilities.

Statutory holidays, as well as consecutive days off the above-mentioned statutory holidays as determined by the General Office of the State Council documents of the year.

What should you pay attention to when traveling in winter?

It is important to keep warm and wear the right clothes

When traveling in winter, the weather is getting colder, so the first thing to do is to keep warm. Depending on the weather changes, you can choose windproof jackets, such as clothes made of woolen, fur and leather. Down jackets can form a non-current air layer and have good warmth retention, so they are the first choice for winter travel. When traveling, it is best to choose light, loose-fitting clothes to make you more comfortable. At the same time, warm gloves and hats are also necessary for winter travel.

Pay attention to diet and hygiene

When traveling, you should also pay attention to diet. Lean meat, eggs, fresh fish, soy products, and animal liver are very good for supplementing body calories. Benefits: You can eat more of it in moderation, but you should not overeat or overeat, which may harm the spleen and stomach due to cravings. In addition, dietary hygiene is very important. Do not eat bad things that will upset your stomach, which will not only affect your schedule but also ruin your mood.

Don’t do outdoor activities for too long

During outdoor activities in winter, the skin of the human body’s hands, feet, ears and other parts will be irritated by cold and moisture for a long time, which may cause serious frostbite. It can even develop into blisters and ulcers.

If you stay in a cold environment for too long, not only the skin will be damaged, but also systemic diseases may occur. Therefore, when traveling in the cold winter season and encountering severe weather such as ice, snow, rain, fog, strong winds, etc., you must shorten the time for outdoor activities as much as possible, especially for the frail and sick.

Choose travel transportation carefully

Considering safety and comfort, the best option is to travel by car to avoid contact with people with colds, fevers and sneezing as much as possible . If conditions permit, you can also choose to travel on foot or by bicycle. Since there are many passengers by plane, high-speed rail and long-distance bus, please choose carefully. No matter which way you travel, the most important thing is to take good protection - wear a mask at all times and keep your hands clean.
