China has issued the first smog warning of the winter for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region for 24 to 26 November. The alert covers a large part of northern China, including Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Northern China often sees heavy smog over the winter season, which runs from mid-November to mid-March, as homes and power utilities burn more coal for power and heating. Additionally, 28 cities in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan province have issued orange-level smog warnings for the same period. Heavy smog is a problem for China's northern region from mid-November to mid-March because of additional coal burning for power and heating by homes and utilities.
