Under the successive influence of the two cold fronts, temperatures in many places in both the north and south will hit new lows for the second half of this year, and many places in Jiangnan will also begin the autumn transition. In the first half of the National Day holiday, rainfall in the south will be relatively widespread, and rain in some parts of the southwest will persist for an extended period, so secondary disasters need to be guarded against. ^[1]
