ANOTHER summer storm moved over the city yesterday afternoon, bringing heavy rain to most districts and hail to the Pudong New Area, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.
The brief hailstorm triggered an orange hail alert in Pudong as well as three yellow alerts for rain, lightning and gales.
The bureau yesterday issued two yellow alerts for lightning and rain at 3:14pm to warn of strong afternoon thunderstorms brought by convective clouds. A yellow gale alert followed 45 minutes later.
Between 3pm and 5pm, most areas of the city saw rainfall of between 10 and 30 millimeters.
It will be cloudy today and tomorrow, and there is a chance of afternoon showers or thundershowers. The mercury will fluctuate between 26 and 33 degrees Celsius on both days.
A typhoon off the coast will likely bring steady rain late on Friday that will continue into Saturday. The mercury will drop to 30 degrees.
The center of Typhoon Nepartak was sighted 1,640 kilometers away from Taipei, Taiwan at 5pm yesterday and it was still gaining strength.
Nepartak is expected to pass or make landfall in northeastern Taiwan either tomorrow night or at dawn on Friday and then move into the East China Sea. It may graze or hit neighboring Zhejiang Province between Friday night and Saturday afternoon, possibly bringing severe gales and downpours to Shanghai.
The skies will clear and the mercury will rise to 33 degrees on Sunday.
