Beijing shivers through coldest December on record
The Chinese capital, Beijing, has experienced its coldest December since records began in 1951.
Temperatures in the city have frequently fallen below -10C this month. China has been hit with several waves of extremely cold weather already this winter.
It has been a year of extremes in the capital: six months ago, Beijing recorded its hottest ever June day – just over 40C.
Parts of northern Japan have seen huge snowfall, and South Korea has been battling freezing temperatures.
It is not clear how people are coping in North Korea.
