Shanghai is moderately polluted this morning as cold air brought smog from North China. The Air Quality Index hit 195 by 9am .

The Air Quality Index will range between 220 and 240 -- heavily polluted -- in the morning, due to pollutants brought by the cold air, the local environmental monitoring center said.

In the afternoon, it should improve a little, with an AQI of 135 to 155 -- slightly to moderately polluted.

With the arrival of the cold front, the mercury is set to start dropping around noon today, and fall further tomorrow, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.
