A polar vortex featuring very cold temperatures went south and settled in Siberia and will cause a lasting cold spell in major parts of China in the next few days, the website explained.

該網(wǎng)站解釋?zhuān)�汲取地球之寒氣的北極渦旋，南下遷居西伯利亞，將引起中國(guó)大部地區(qū)在未來(lái)幾天內(nèi)的持續(xù)寒潮。

Extreme and rare as it is, experts say the bitter cold is unlikely to bring that much damage and disorder to people’s lives, as did the last cold wave in the winter of 2008.
