For those keeping track, Fu said that winter arrived in Shanghai Sunday.

According to weather bureau criteria, winter begins when the average daily temperature falls below 10 C for five consecutive days, with the first day marking the start of the season.

Weather bureau officials reminded residents to wear heavier clothing and to be more vigilant about fires due to the dry winter air.
