Clouds and showers return to much of the north region and the central region sees another day of thunderstorms and flooding rainfall as well. The south is mired in the think, soupy, tropical atmosphere while activity within the region responsible for all of this warm, wet moisture is missing in action. 

NORTH

Clouds, showers, and a few thunderstorms will pop up across much of the north region as méiyǔ moisture and energy work back to the north. A stalled frontal system remains draped over Japan and eastern China, helping to focus the moisture into developing rainfall. There’s a bit of a break in the moisture flow along the front, so Shanghai will see a pretty decent day, but showers and thunderstorms are possible across the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula. Another storm system is pressing down from the northwest into Mongolia and northern China, and the southerly flow ahead of the front is pulling some tropical moisture up into central portions of the region, helping increase clouds and showers and significantly lowering temperatures. Temperatures will be seasonably warm across the region, with lower readings where cloud cover and rainfall amounts are greatest.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Ulaanbaatar	22	8	72	46	Partly cloudy
Vladivostok	21	16	70	61	Scattered showers likely
Beijing	31	21	88	70	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Seoul	27	22	81	72	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Tokyo	26	22	79	72	Scattered showers likely
Xi’an	29	21	84	70	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Shanghai	32	25	90	77	Partly cloudy

 

CENTRAL

More showers and thunderstorms will roll across the central region today as the ever-present méiyǔ front wavers over the region. The front is hugging the southeastern Chinese coast, acting as a source for lifting up the copious moisture across the region into strong showers and thunderstorms. Once again we see a risk for locally heavy rain, localized flooding, and possible landslides in the higher elevations as the rain pounds the already very saturated ground. Temperatures will be reflective of the season, with warm, but bearable readings, region-wide.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Kunming	24	17	75	63	Scattered thunderstorms likely
Hong Kong	32	28	90	82	Thunderstorms likely
Taipei	33	26	91	79	Scattered thunderstorms likely
Naha	32	27	90	81	Scattered thunderstorms likely
Hanoi	33	27	91	81	Scattered thunderstorms likely

 

SOUTH

The south region will see the least change in the weather, as warm, summery conditions continue. Lots of moisture is in place making for a very humid day, and the warm sunshine is helping to heat things up, which will result in numerous clouds and showers, with occasional thunderstorms across most of the region this afternoon. The earlier monsoon gyre over the South China Sea has moved into Indochina, and has opened up into an elongated trough. This just means that the moisture continues to get pulled into these areas, but the energy has declined a bit, so activity will be a bit more scattered than in previous days, especially over southern Indochina.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Siem Reap	31	24	88	75	Thunderstorms likely
Ho Chi Minh	32	25	90	77	Scattered thunderstorms likely
Manila	31	24	88	75	Thunderstorms likely
Davao City	32	24	90	75	Thunderstorms likely
Brunei	33	25	91	77	Partly cloudy
Singapore	32	27	90	81	Scattered thunderstorms possible

 

TROPICS

All is quiet across the tropics, as the ITCZ (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone) takes a bit of a break after last week’s round of action. Ample moisture across the region along with the hot afternoon sun will help fire off the usual serving of scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region as residents enjoy a day that reminds them why they live on these beautiful islands in the first place.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Guam	33	27	91	81	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Yap	32	25	90	77	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Palau	30	26	86	79	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Chuuk	31	26	88	79	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Pohnpei	29	23	84	73	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Majuro	28	26	82	79	Scattered thunderstorms possible

Have a thrilling Thursday!
