The Qingming Festival season is known to bring rainfall. And just as expected, here it comes. According to Weather.com.cn, Shanghai News and a load of other meteorological sources, there will be plenty of rain in the coming weeks... Great.

One positive outcome of the predicted onslaught is that, generally speaking, the rain will help steady the temperature roller coaster ride we've been dealing with in recent weeks. We can expect a breezy 16 to 17 degrees Celsius for most of the month, with a slight peak this Saturday, where we're looking at temperatures reaching as high as 23 degrees Celsius and some sunshine. Tidy.
All in all, it's looking like a fairly wet month ahead. But don't let the rain put a downer on your plans, just dig out your umbrella and embrace your inner Gene Kelly.
