The plum rain season starts in some style 2017-06-20
SHANGHAI was battered by heavy rain yesterday — the day the annual plum rain season began.
Warm and humid weather with intermittent rains are the pattern for the next few days, said forecasters.
“This year’s plum rain season will be longer than previous years with more intensive rainfall,” said Kong Chunyan, the chief forecaster of the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau. Normally the plum season ends around July 10, but this year the season will last longer, Kong added.
