Heavy rain to slam Beijing
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-08-07 15:06 Beijingers will seemingly
enjoy the coolness of fall weeks in advance as the ninth typhoon of the year is
moving northward and will bring heavy rain to the national capital starting
Sunday night.
"Affected by typhoon Matsa, most parts of the capital will report heavy rain
Sunday night and Monday," said Guo Hu, director of the Beijing Meteorological
Station, in an interview with Xinhua Sunday.
Latest nephograms show that the rainy and overcast weather will last until
Tuesday night, he added.
Sunday marks the "beginning of the autumn", the 13th of all the 24 solar
terms in the traditional Chinese calendar. But according to meteorological
standards, autumn starts only when the average temperature is below 22 degrees
Celsius for five days in a row, said Guo.
"The coolness won't last long. The spell of sweltering hot weather will
continue later this week," he said.
