Wipha to hit Shanghai tomorrow
By Lu Feiran 2007-9-17


THIS year's 13th typhoon Wipha will exert serious influence on the city tomorrow and Wednesday, weather experts said today.

Wipha is expected to bring heavy rain with winds ranging from 50 to 88 kilometers per hour, according to the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.

Winds near the mouth of the Yangtze River and near the Yangshan Port area will be even stronger, reaching 75 to 117 kilometers per hour.

The wind and rain will also bring down temperatures, with highs dropping to 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, according to the bureau.


I'm wondering if that's why the internet completely sucks today. After all, the only news in China is GOOD news. But if they WANT good news, then I believe it's time for yet another Typhoon Party organized by yours truly!

But... why is it that in ANY other place, people know at least 4 or 5 days in advance, and they only tell us about THIS one a day before in China?
