Print Edition
SHANGHAI will have cloudy days with intermittent showers for the rest of the holiday, according to the city’s weather bureau.
Temperatures will range from 22 to 29 degrees Celsius before the arrival of a cold front on Friday which will bring heavy rain over the weekend.
Air quality will remain good.
Rain hit most parts of the city in the early evening yesterday, and precipitation in some districts, including the Pudong New Area, reached over 10 millimeters under the peripheral influence of tropical storm Chaba, forecasters said.
A cold front will also sweep north China over the next two days, the national observatory said, with temperatures dropping up to 6 degrees in parts of the northwest, the northeast, Inner Mongolia, and regions to the north of the Yellow and Huaihe rivers.
Some areas will see temperatures fall by 8 degrees or more, according to the National Meteorological Center.
It forecast light or shower rain in those regions, with parts of Inner Mongolia and the provinces of Hebei and Jilin seeing moderate or heavy falls.
Rain and falling temperatures began to clear Beijing’s smog, according to the city’s weather bureau, which also said the concentration of air pollutants began to decrease, bringing the capital’s air quality to the level of excellent or fine.
The lower temperatures were substantially due to the rain, the bureau said, and that had intensified during the afternoon before stopping last night.
Beijing issued its first yellow alert for air pollution in the second half of this year on Sunday and heavy smog had hung over the city on Monday.
Weather experts said they expect north China to see more smog over the next few weeks as winter approaches.
