City moderately polluted but rains are back
Online Edition
A subtropical high pressure, southwesterly warm moisture and a cold front will make it a wet week in Shanghai, the local weather bureau has announced.
While that may not be good news for those making plans for the outdoors, the rains are expected to clean the city’s pollutants and hasten the return of good air quality.
Pollution made its way back to the city this morning with the air quality index hitting 180 at 11am, fitting into the moderately polluted pollution level, data compiled by the Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center showed. The concentration of main pollutant PM2.5 particles reached 136 micrograms per cubic meter, five times the safety guideline of 25 set by the World Health Organization.
But there may be some relief from the pollution later in the day with the rains washing away the particles.
The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said the city can expect intermittent showers from tonight until next Friday. The forecast for the next three days is average rainfall of 50 to 70 millimeters in the city, with some parts of the city likely to receive 70 to 100 millimeters.
The threat of thunder and lightning is also a possibility.
