    与前天的天气相仿，昨天，暗灰的天幕下，阴雨绵绵，伴着丝丝弱冷空气，身子感到凉飕飕的。恼人的东北风昨天在上空竟凑了一天的“热闹”。在其“助威”下，尽管下午下班时分降雨停歇，可是袭面的冷意却更甚于早上。据市气象台的消息说，今天我市的天气不会出现明显的好转，以小雨天气为主。最低气温在１６℃左右，白天的气温较昨天会有所上升，但也仅有１９℃左右。空气潮湿，相对湿度可达７５－９０％。天气较为清凉，请市民朋友们注意适量增添衣物。     昨天我市阴雨天气持续，全市普降小雨，国家气候观象台记录到２．９毫米的雨量，全市最大降水出现在正坑水库，为５．１毫米。在弱冷空气影响和降雨的共同作用下，昨天我市气温较低，早晨的最低气温为１６．５℃，白天气温也维持在１７℃左右，在强劲东北风的吹拂下，感觉甚是阴冷。     由于近期降雨频繁，我市的空气质量较好，预计今天我市的空气污染指数为３０－５０，空气质量为优等。这样的阴雨天气将持续到明天，清明节开始我市的天气将会逐渐好转，转为局部有雨和轻雾天气，部分时间能见度会较差，５－６日我市以多云到少云天气为主，阳光充足，气温大幅回升，中午前后气温较高，预计最低气温在２３℃左右，最高气温可达２９℃，空气湿度明显下降，天气干燥，请注意防火。     （肖意 王明洁 邓思敏）
