HULUNBUIR, CHINA SUFFERS COLDEST DAY IN HISTORY (-54.4F)
Historic cold and snow has been buffeting eastern Asia in recent weeks, including the nations of China, Japan and South Korea–more on the latter below.
Following the host of Chinese locales breaking all-time low temperature records this week (which include Tuli River’s -42C (-43.6F); Fuyuan’s -42.3C (-44.1F); Wuying’s -43.3C (-45.9F); and Jiayan’s -44.4C (-47.9F)), the city of Hulunbuir has bested them all with its low of –46.9C (-54.4F) — thought to be the city’s coldest temperature ever recorded.
Hulunbuir is located in northern China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and although the area is used to the cold, such a fierce and widespread chill –with much of northern China holding below -40C– has proved problematic for authorities.
As a result, major supermarkets have been instructed to increase supplies of certain necessities, and people have been urged to stay indoors, reports the South China Morning Post.

CHINA BREAKS MORE THAN 20 *MONTHLY* LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS
The ‘swings between extremes’ we spoke of above aren’t just confined to South Africa and South America, they’re occurring in China, too–as well as across the wider Asian continent.
Over the weekend, the intense record-breaking heat suffered in the Chinese provinces of Fujian, Sichuan and Chongqing was more than ‘balanced out’ by the exceptional record-breaking cold featured in northern parts of the country.
More than 20 stations in the provinces of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei broke their *monthly* low temperature records on Saturday, August 27, many of which (see list below) had stood since the 1970s–another period of relatively low solar activity.
20x of Northern China’s busted August lows.

Shuangfeng Forest Farm, in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, has embraced its first snowfall of the season.
The tourist attraction, known as China’s “Snow Town”, also marked “Frost’s Descent” on Sunday, October 23. The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, with Frost’s Descent being the 18th and the last of autumn, signalling its time fo agricultural harvest.
