The Environmental Protection Bureau said pollution in the city was read at 96 on Thursday, within the "fairly good" range of between 51 to 100, but very close to the "slightly polluted" range. However, environmental experts are confident of air quality during the Games, as August has historically been the month in which the most days meet quality standards.

Friday, the day of the opening ceremony, is expected to be cloudy with scattered rain and a high of 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).

"The weather will mainly be overcast during the opening ceremony on Friday," said China Meteorological Administration spokesman Yu Xinwen on Wednesday.

Organizers said the ceremony would be unaffected by drizzle and small adjustments would be needed in case of moderate rain, but they feared torrential rain the most.

Experts said such downpours are unlikely after the start of the lunar autumn in Beijing.
