It's Going to Be Really, Really Hot in Shanghai This Week

Things are heating up in Shanghai – and fast. Today’s temperature is expected to reach a whopping 32 degrees (Celsius). 

But if you think it's hot outside right now, brace yourselves. Temperatures will jump up to 35 degrees on Tuesday and 37 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday. The unseasonably hot weather is expected to last until Saturday.

For a better idea of what to expect this week, here’s a handy 15-day forecast from The Weather Channel:

In addition to warmer-than-average temperatures, expect rain and thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday. 

Things are expected to cool off significantly starting Saturday, which will see a high of 24 degrees. In the meantime, it might not be the worst idea to stay cool at one of Shanghai’s many pools. Just sayin'.
