Autumn by name already, autumn by weather too

Had enough of the heat? Soon you may be missing it.

Today will likely be the last high temperature day of August as a weak cold front is on its way to Shanghai, forecasters said yesterday.

A subtropical high will usher in a higher temperature today, with 36 degrees Celsius possible, the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said.

Tomorrow, it should be cloudy with scattered showers, with the highest temperature falling to 33 degrees.

In the middle of the week, a weak cold front will affect Shanghai, and the highest temperature is expected to drop to 30 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, 29 degrees is forecast. 

Both Wednesday and Thursday are set to be cloudy.
