Shanghai is Hot, Hot and Hot!
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2007-08-05 00:14 · SummerI completely have no idea when the hot summer of Shanghai will be over. Recently, everyday when I step out of my room, the hot (extremely hot air) reminds me of what was shown in the film An Inconvenient Truth. Shanghai broke track record of extreme hot weather in the last century, many times!
Poor visitors! If you are in Shanghai, I promise you Shanghai isn’t always so terrible to live, and there are some days better than today. Do come again at other time. These days, Shanghai is just like a hot spot, and the air is burning my nose.
So, to remind people that there are cool days (acturally cold days) in Shanghai, let me post a photo I took back in Dec 29, 2004 of the heavy snow in Shanghai. We just got back from our long trip in New York at that time, and Shanghai was not THAT cold, and we were very happy about it.
Feeling cool now?

Oli, one translation for "An Inconvenient Truth" is 难以忽视的真相
because of many reasons taking breakfast people need to pack them in plastic bags (more environmental protective than using instant box) ,or in another way using food storage box ,every time you just need to wash it with water and detergent then you are not creating white pollution,but you are wasting water and create another kind of pullotion,is there a good way to solve it?
It must be unhealthly level. I visited Shanghai since 2007 almost 6 times and didnt notice the pollution level during the cold weather. Shanghai is polluted and something must be done about the pollution.
I didn't take pictures these days. I always wanted to find some clear days and take some great photo of the tall buildings around the Bund, but these days, it is too foggy to see any buildings from the Nan Pu Bridge.
You are right. It is the Pollution Standards Index. Very certain the reading is at unhealthy level.
I just got back to my country. I was in Shanghai in early July and plan to stay for more than 60 days. Due to the pollution I cut back my stay and decided to leave Shangai for cleaner air. I was staying at New Harbour Service apartment - 28th storey looking at central Shangai. Trust me - the skyline was foggy and it is not clear everyday. If you wish I have pictures taken from my service apartment - the skyline of central Shangahi.
Cheers and all the best to you.
