The highest temperature reached 26 degrees centigrade in Beijing yesterday, the highest since spring. Meanwhile, there are lots of white wispy things floating in the sky like snow in the capital city in this season. They're called catkins and come from willow trees. Many people find them annoying and now the municipal government?plan to?do something to decrease the numbers of them.
