Beijing Smacked with Orange Alert, Expect 3 Days of Smog

Here we go again. Beijing has been issued yet another orange alert, which went into effect early this morning. The orange alert is the second-highest warning level in the four-tiered system. 

For the next three days, the air is expected to fluctuate between 150 and 270. According to AirVisual, it looks like we’ll get the worst of it on Thursday and Friday nights.  

The smog is expected to linger until Saturday afternoon, when it looks like we’ll get some reprieve. Until then, it's probably a good idea to limit outdoor activities as much as possible. And if you do venture outside, make sure to bring those masks with you.
