Despite being among the warmest years on record, eastern China was hit by an unexpected extreme cold event in December 2023 that caused transportation shutdowns, power supply shortages and agricultural damage.

A new study led by Qian Cheng from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with a team of researchers including Aiguo Dai from the University at Albany, examined the 2023 event to better understand how the warming effect of climate change drives or suppresses these types of extreme cold waves.
