WHILE it is set to miss Shanghai, Typhoon Soudelor will bring cool winds and showers to the city over the weekend and rain and thunderstorms through next week, weather forecasters said yesterday.

This will bring an end to a heatwave that has seen temperatures of more than 35 degrees Celsius for the past 12 days.

But the high temperature will drop to 33 degrees today, under the influence of the typhoon, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.
