As the May Day holiday approaches, many people are gearing up for travel across China. To help travelers plan ahead, the China Weather Network has released the 2024 National May Day weather map, providing insights into the weather conditions during the holiday period.
According to meteorological analyst Shi Yan, the early days of the May Day holiday will see favorable weather in most parts of northern China, with light rain expected in the western region. However, in the later stage of the holiday (May 3 to May 5), there will be widespread rainfall in the central and eastern regions, with moderate to heavy rains expected. This may impact travel plans, especially for those returning from their holiday destinations.
The weather map indicates that Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, western Gansu, western Qinghai, and other areas will have minimal rain during the holidays, with higher temperatures conducive to travel. However, regions like Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Jiangsu, and Anhui may experience fine weather in the early part of the holiday but should expect rain towards the end.
Central and eastern regions, including Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Hubei, Zhejiang, and Fujian, are likely to experience rain at different stages during the holiday period. Travelers are advised to carry umbrellas as a precaution. Southern regions like Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, and Jiangxi may encounter frequent rains, with some areas experiencing heavy rainfall and strong convective weather.
Popular tourist destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xi’an, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and Changsha are expected to have varying levels of rainfall during the holiday period. While some cities may have intermittent rain, others like Guangzhou and Changsha may see continuous rainfall, making it essential for travelers to stay informed and plan their trips accordingly.
The China Weather Network advises travelers to stay updated on weather forecasts and warnings, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. It is recommended to avoid risky areas such as mountainous regions and river valleys to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday. Despite the weather variations, the network wishes everyone a safe and happy May Day holiday.
