Considering the apocalyptic gloom outside the window this morning, you may not be surprised to hear that our forecast has taking a turn for the worse this week. A cold front is sweeping over the city with rain, wind, and general misery until Friday. Wednesday morning lows are expected to drop down to 14 degrees Celsius, and while highs will hover around 20 degrees all week (not so bad), the wind chill will probably make it feel colder than it actually is. But don't worry! Things are supposed to be dry and bearable again before our Halloween party on Friday. more ›

It looks like our unseasonably beautiful October was the weather gods' way of offering us a bit of kindness before smacking us down with cold (ice cold) fists of fury. According to weather experts, Shanghai may now be heading into its earliest winter this decade. Usually, winter arrives in early or mid-December, but if this cold front continues, the daily average temperature would not have exceeded 10C since Friday and winter will officially be declared tomorrow - just in time for the first predicted snow of the season! So bundle up, especially since it seems these low temps will stay with us until the weekend. more ›
