Cold Air Persists! Check Out This Dressing Guide

According to the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, sunny weather will prevail until Sunday (December 7). Temperatures will fluctuate slightly but will generally stay stable, with daytime highs between 6°C and 8°C. With warm midday sunshine and light breezes, it's a great time for a leisurely walk.

Nighttime temperatures will remain low, though, dropping to between -2°C and -4°C. The cold is most intense in the early mornings and late evenings, so be sure to take precautions and stay warm. An incoming cold air mass is expected to bring northerly winds on Sunday, leading to a noticeable wind chill effect. Please pay attention to the latest weather forecasts to prepare accordingly.

As the weather gets colder, thick clothes become a "must" for many people. But how to dress warmly while maintaining flexibility? It's time to follow the three-layer principle.

Outer Layer: Choose wind-resistant clothes, such as a down or cotton-padded jacket, a cashmere coat, or a hardshell jacket. If you're commuting on two wheels, add a windproof neck warmer and knee warmers to prevent cold air from seeping through gaps.

Mid Layer: Choose clothes that are fluffy and excellent at retaining heat, like a fleece or down jacket, or a cashmere sweater. This layer should be slightly loose to trap more air, as air is the best insulation. A layer too tight will compress the air and reduce warmth.

Base Layer: Select snug-fitting, moisture-wicking and breathable clothes, such as thermal underwear, a quick-dry shirt, or yoga wear. This layer helps quickly wick away moisture, preventing dampness from building up inside your clothes, which can affect the fluffiness of the outer layers and diminish their insulation capabilities.
