Fine weather is expected in Guangdong Province but there will be strong winds, plunging temperatures and rain in northern parts of the country.

There will be heavy rain in Northeast China, where a cold front will cause temperatures to plunge by 10-12 degrees Celsius. Sichuan and Guizhou can expect torrential rain with strong winds, the observatory said.

Shenzhen traffic police have advised motorists to avoid sections of Beihuan Road, which is undergoing roadworks.

During the holidays, the Beihuan Road section between Xinzhou Flyover and Yinhu Flyover (northern side), and the section between Xianghuan Flyover and Shenyun Flyover (northern side) will be resurfaced.
