Daily update- Wednesday, June 1, 2016

NWPAC outlook, 01 JUN

Warmer air returns to much of the north region as the East Asian monsoon brings showers to southern parts. The central region also continues to deal with méiyǔ energy and moisture as rain, sometimes heavy, continues. The south also continues to see a continuation of a wetter weather pattern, much to the relief of residents. The tropics remain relatively quiet as the slow uptick in activity continues. 

NORTH

As we enter the month of June, we find very warm air settling in over portions of the north region, with the East Asian monsoon also starting to undulate across southern portions of the region. The energy today is focused along a stalled frontal boundary that is draped over the center of China from east to west. Ripples of energy and moisture riding along this front will bring showers and thunderstorms to portions of central and eastern China. Most of the remainder of the region will see a few scattered clouds and plenty of warm spring sunshine.

CENTRAL

Parts of the central region are dealing with hazardous conditions due to heavy rain settling in over southern portions of the region. Flooding and landslides continue to dominate the news out of Guangdong province as the rain continues to roll over the region in waves day after day. Today will see another chance of thunderstorms over the area, as tropical moisture in place gets a lift from the warm afternoon sun, and the mountainous terrain of the interior regions of the provinces in the region, to squeeze out showers and thunderstorms. Where showers don’t fall, temperatures will warm up to summertime levels, with most of the heat located in southern China and northern Vietnam.

SOUTH

After suffering through so many months of drought, or near-drought, conditions, residents of the south are thankful for the daily doses of showers and thunderstorms over the region. Again, today, we see a good chance for showers and thunderstorms over the majority of the region, as tropical moisture dominates. Temperatures across the region will settle in at near-normal levels across the region, with slightly lower readings in and near thunderstorms.

 TROPICS 

As has been the case through the start of the 2016 typhoon season, very little in the way of activity is present in the tropics. Certainly there are no signs whatsoever of anything potentially dangerous developing, and in fact, there is even little in the way of easterly wave activity. One wave is sliding along the general westerly flow of the I.T.C.Z. (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone) through the Marshall Islands. Another rather strong wave is rolling through the western islands of Micronesia, whilst another slides out of the Philippines into the South China Sea. A third wave is cruising through Indonesia and Brunei, while a semi-permanent monsoon trough feature continues over southern Indochina. Most locations across the region can expect another round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, which pretty much equals a beautiful day in paradise.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
