> Beijing is preparing for an intense spell of rain expected to begin late Tuesday. Forecasters expect the Chinese capital to receive more than one-third of its typical annual rainfall during the following 24 hours. Moisture associated with Typhoon Dolphin, located to the south, is moving toward the region. It is expected to meet cool air over northern China, helping produce the heavy precipitation.
