The country is experiencing its coldest April in nearly 50 years due to abnormal atmospheric circulation and a moving Arctic cold air mass, meteorological experts said on Wednesday.

The average temperature across the country in April hit its lowest mark since 1961, reaching 8.7 C, about 1.3 C below the norm, according to the China Meteorological Administration.

Most parts of Northeast and North China have experienced comparatively lower temperatures since November, about 1.8 C lower than usual, official figures show.

"The cold air mass in the Arctic has moved southward and met the abnormal atmospheric circulation, causing its movement eastward and influencing weather in China," said Zhou Bing, a researcher at the forecast room with the National Climate Center.

Due to the influence of the cold front, the temperature in the middle and western parts of Inner Mongolia dropped at least 16 degrees, reaching minus 10 C.

The extremely cold weather caused frost in more than 10 provinces in northwest and north China with direct economic losses reaching 6 billion yuan ($882 million), and at least 13 million people have been affected.

The cold front also brought a dozen sandstorms to China, Zhou said.

From April 1 to 26, gales brought five sandstorms sweeping into Northwest China, killing at least three people.

The cold weather is not a regional phenomenon but is happening around the globe, spokesman Chen Zhenlin said at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

In early April, snowstorms hit Britain, causing blackouts and several traffic deaths, and many countries such as the United States, Brazil and Indonesia have been hit by floods and rainstorms.

"All these extreme weather events show that the abnormal weather phenomena are increasing and are happening everywhere under the effects of global warming," Chen said.

The cold weather does not stop global warming, he added. It means people are facing increasingly extreme weather events.

Global warming refers to a long-term trend that’s been pushing the world's average annual temperature up by 0.74 C in the past century.
