THE sky would be mostly cloudy over the first five days of the weeklong National Day holiday with showers and gales expected to batter starting October 6, the local meteorological bureau said today.

The temperature is forecasted to be stable, ranging between 21 and 30 degrees throughout the holiday with good air quality, the bureau said.

"Typhoon Megi has weakened to a tropical depression, and its influence to Shanghai will gradually stop tomorrow," said Zhu Jiehua, a chief service officer at the bureau.

This Saturday, the first day of the holiday, should be cloudy, and the highest temperature will be 30 degrees with a low of 25 degrees.

It should be cloudy for Sunday's day time, and the mercury will remain the same as Saturday, according to the bureau.

Showers or thunderstorms are expected between Sunday dusk and Monday noon under the influence of a trough, and the highest temperature will decrease 3 degrees on Monday.

It should turn cloudy from Monday afternoon, according to the bureau.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday should be cloudy, and the temperature should hover between 23 degrees as a low and 28 degrees as a high for both days.

Tropical storm Chaba, which was formed in the northwest part of the Pacific Ocean yesterday, will probably affect Shanghai later during the holiday.

It is expected to develop into a strong typhoon, forecasters said.

"Tropical storm Chaba is expected to approach east Taiwan on Monday, and we are closely observing its direction and development," said Zhu.

Thursday will turn rainy under the influence of tropical system periphery, with gales expected.
