Smog to hit northern China

Smog will hit parts of northern China from Saturday to Sunday, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) forecast.

Smog will hit southern and central parts in northern China and the northern parts along the Yellow and Huaihe rivers on Saturday and Sunday.

It will shroud parts of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei next Tuesday and Wednesday and from Dec. 14 to Dec. 16, though it won't be as severe as the air pollution earlier this week.
