BEIJING — Winter is expected to arrive late, and suddenly in Beijing this year as daytime temperatures hovered above 20 degrees Celsius, bathing the capital in a warm smog, while other parts of China basked in record highs above 30 degrees Celsius.

The official start of winter in the capital could come on Nov 6, state-run Beijing Daily reported on Wednesday , almost a week later than in previous years, with average temperatures expected to dive more than 10 degrees Celsius.

As of 2pm on Wednesday, more than 600 meteorological stations across China had seen temperatures shatter historical highs for November, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Experts quoted by state media say the recent"rare" summer-like weather was due to weaker-than-usual cold air currents, which had also led to persistent hazy weather with heavy air pollution shrouding the city.
