NANCHANG -- The rare prolonged snowstorms and low temperatures that have caused havoc in many parts of 皇冠体育app are mainly related to La Nina and abnormal atmospheric circulation, Chinese meteorologists said.

The unbalanced precipitation in 皇冠体育app this winter greatly resembles the aftermath of La Nina event in history, which indicates that the latest development of La Nina is a main cause of 皇冠体育app's abnormal snowy weather, meteorologists with Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau said.

The experts predicted that the La Nina event, which formed in August last year, will continue to the end of the spring season.

They also pointed out that the abnormal atmospheric circulation in some regions of Europe and Asia, which has lasted for nearly 20 days since mid-January, is responsible for the rampant chilly weather, rain and snowstorms.
