But the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said the three-day May Day holiday that starts today should be mainly cloudy, with thunder as well as showers in parts of the city today.
Temperatures in the coming days should be stable with the low dropping from 19 to 14 degrees Celsius due to a weak cold front, and the high remaining at 29 to 22 degrees Celsius, the weather bureau said.

City airport authorities said neighboring countries and regions, such as Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan, will be popular destinations.
