Heavy fog likely to lift on Tuesday
BEIJING - The heavy fog, which crippled traffic, delayed flights and created obstacles in the highways in many places of North China since Saturday, was likely to continue until Tuesday, said meteorological authorities.
The fog shrouded most places in southern Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei province on Sunday. Many other places, including parts of Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Henan provinces, will also be affected by the foggy weather, according to a report issued by the National Meteorological Center (NMC) at 6 pm on Sunday.
The Beijing Meteorological Bureau issued a yellow-level alert at 5 pm on Sunday, saying that most places in Beijing will be shrouded by heavy fog on Monday, and visibility in the plains will be less than 500 meters.
