Indeed, completely missed that.

So... early winter is not the cause this year. Even quite far up north, it's quite warm this year.

Still an interesting point as not many people know Shanghai has quite cool winters (and even 10C outside needs some heating indoors).

I just did a double take as it’s still late summer/early fall so still relatively warm.

I'd say if they have power shortage already, then the situation may turn even more dire when the cold strikes.
