Mercury to soar in city as skies clear
Print Edition
THE plum rain season ends today but the city may still see some scattered showers over the weekend.
The mercury could touch 38 degrees tomorrow.
Weather forecasters said yesterday that the subtropical high will drive the rain belt away, bringing to an end 31 days of the humid plum season — eight days more than the usual 23 days.
The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said the plum season arrived two days later than previous years but ended 10 days later.
There was an increase in rainfall too, especially in northern parts of the city. Chongming County received most rains among all districts with a reading of 381 millimeters, an increase of almost 80 percent, the bureau said.
It was followed by Jinshan District with 216 millimeters of rain.
The bureau said the subtropical high will rise, bringing with it clear but sizzling days of 35 and 37 degrees Celsius.
This Friday marks the solar term Dashu, or great heat, implying that hot days are round the corner.
