The first cold wave of the Year of the Snake has already begun affecting Guangdong, leading to a drop in temperatures across the province. While northern Guangdong may even see frost or freezing temperatures, Dongguan's lowest point will be around 8°C, making it a significantly colder period than usual.  

With the temperature fluctuations ahead, residents are advised to dress warmly, especially in the mornings and evenings. The risk of flu is currently high, so staying warm and taking precautions against seasonal illnesses is essential.
