China floods, 17 JUL

Much of the north region will see a fair day today, however, in the southernmost provinces of the region, periods of heavy rain will continue to create major issues with flooding, landslides, and general mayhem. All of this is due to vast amounts of tropical moisture being transported into the region from the south, and combining with energy from a stalled frontal system draped over central locales of eastern Asia.

The northern portion of the central region will also see waves of heavy rain in some locations, exacerbating an already historic flooding situation in parts of central and southeastern China. Okinawa will also see some squally weather due to the remnants of TD03W, coming in from the south. It will be another VERY hot day across southern China and northern Indochina, as heat indices approach 43C (109F)

The south region will see widespread scattered thunderstorms this afternoon as the sunshine and heat give the copious moisture a lift.

The tropics have quieted down, with very little activity to speak of today.

Have a marvelous Monday!
