Weather won't take break for holidays

Heading out of doors during the Labor Day holiday? Take your pick of dust or rain.

Light to moderate rain will fall on parts of northwest and southwest China, plus most of east-central China on Friday and Saturday, said Chen Zhenlin, a spokesman for the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).

"Accompanied by southerly or northerly winds, the rain will bring down the temperature in North China and parts of Northeast China," said Chen.
