THE city swelters today with the mercury topping 36 degrees Celsius by noon, which soon triggered this year's first orange heat wave alert, forecasters said.

Under the subtropical high, the heat wave rolls into Shanghai on the first day we've been out of the plum rain season. The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau issued a yellow alert for it at 9:40am and it was soon upgraded an orange one at 1:04pm. Most districts recorded their mercury at above 35 degrees and a high of 37 degrees is expected in downtown as well as suburban Baoshan and Jiading Districts.

Such sizzling condition with highs between 35 and 37 degrees is expected to last into the weekend.

Skies are likely to be mostly cloudy between Thursday and Sunday but there is still a slim chance for a few scattered showers.
