北京气温创72年来最长连续低温纪录。在寒潮席卷全国并带来暴风雪之后，中国首都北京的气温骤降至历史最低水平，打破了自1951年以来12月份零度以下气温持续时长的记录，超300小时低于0℃。刺骨的冷空气从北极南下，自上周以来，中国北部和东北部地区经历了破纪录的寒冷，东北部一些地区的气温达到零下40摄氏度及以下。
China's capital Beijing has broken its record for hours of sub - zero temperatures in December dating back to 1951, after a cold wave swept swathes of the country and brought blizzards in its wake, sending temperatures towards historic lows, with over 300 hours below 0℃. Northern and northeastern parts of the country have experienced a record - breaking chill since last week, with some areas in the northeast hitting minus 40 Celsius and below, as biting cold air flowed down from the Arctic.
