Clear weather forecast, a relief for survivors

High temperature, cloudy weather and little precipitation, That's the weather forecast for the next few days in the quake-hit areas.

Quake survivors can breathe easy for the time being because the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said yesterday that little or no rainfall is expected in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces.

This lessens the threat of quake lakes breaking their barriers or overflowing in the coming days, and causing more human and material damage in the disaster areas.
