More rainstorms all this week

BEIJING - The city is about to witness its longest period of continuous rain for at least four years, weather experts said.

Beijing Meteorological Bureau issued a yellow alert on Monday morning, the third highest level in its four-color storm warning system and predicted storms will continue to hit the capital this week.

"The possibility of rainstorms covering the whole city is quite small, though," said Sun Jisong, the bureau's chief engineer.
