On Nov 16, Shaoguan, Qingyuan and Zhaoqing will be overcast with light rains. Other regions will be cloudy with locally light rains. The low in northern Guangdong will be 12-15℃, 17-20℃ in southern Guangdong and 15-17℃ in other cities.

On Nov 17, Shaoguan and Qingyuan will be overcast with light rains, and local moderate rains. The low in northern Guangdong will be 11-13℃, 17-20℃ in southern Guangdong and 12-15℃ in other cities.

On Nov 21, another relatively strong cold front will affect Guangdong, bringing a significant temperature drop. 

Fall has arrived in Guangzhou 

The Guangzhou Meteorological Observatory on Nov 14 announced on its Weibo official account that Guangzhou had entered the fall season on Oct 17. 

According to China’s temperature-based season division standards, fall starts when a city’s 5-day moving average temperature, namely the average of the 5 single days’ average temperatures, is lower than 22℃. If the fall’s starting day, which is the first day of the time series of moving average temperature, is more than 15 days earlier than usual, a second check will have to be done.

Guangzhou has met the standard with its 5-day moving average temperature of Oct 17-21 being 21.96℃, but the starting day of “fall”, Oct 17, is 23 days earlier than that in previous years. 

After a second check, between Oct 21 and Nov 8, days with a 5-day moving average temperature lower than (or, equal to) 22℃, outnumber those with a 5-day moving average temperature high than 22℃. Therefore, it can be said that fall has come to Guangzhou, the local meteorological observatory confirmed.
