Freezing weather and warmer spell forecast for week ahead
Print Edition
SEESAWING temperatures are forecast this week, with both sunny and overcast days predicted.
With the arrival of a cold front from the north and strong winds, the mercury is set to start dropping around noon today, and fall further tomorrow, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau yesterday.
Today should be cloudy with a high of 9 degrees Celsius, while the mercury should hover between 1 and 6 degrees tomorrow.
Wednesday should be chillier as the cold front is set to bring the mercury down to freezing in downtown areas in the morning and even lower in suburban areas, said Zhang Ruiyi, a chief service officer of the bureau. A mixture of cloud and sun is forecast.
From Thursday through the weekend, it should turn warmer. The high may reach 14 degrees on Friday, when cloud is predicted, and higher still at the weekend, Zhang said.
Following a heavily to moderately polluted weekend, the air quality is not predicted to be much better today.
The Air Quality Index will range between 220 and 240 — heavily polluted — in the morning, due to pollutants brought by the cold air, the local environmental monitoring center said.
In the afternoon, it should improve a little, with an AQI of 135 to 155 — slightly to moderately polluted.
