The thick fog blanketing a vast area of China including Beijing and Tianjin will disperse as rain begins to fall over the next two or three days, said the State Meteorological Station on Sunday.
A north wind on Sunday will also help dissipate the fog that shrouded north and northeast China on Monday, bringing temperatures down by four to eight degrees Celsius, according to the State Meteorological Station.
Affected by a warm airflow, the southwest and eastern parts of northwest China and regions along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are expected to have considerable rainfall on Tuesday.
