Thursday was the coldest day since autumn began, but the city should feel warmer this weekend.

However, cold weather is set to return next Wednesday, forecasters said yesterday.

Over the weekend, the maximum temperature may touch 21 degrees Celsius, with the low ranging from between 13 to 16 degrees.

Although warmer, the weather is set to be cloudy, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.

The high will be around 19 degrees next Monday and Tuesday with rain expected.

From Wednesday, the high will drop to 16 degrees and the low to 10 degrees.

In the second half of the week, forecasters say the low will be down to 8 or 9 degrees - lower in the suburbs.

But this is higher than Thursday's low of 6.2 degrees.
