NORTH

Temperatures across the north region will rebound just a bit ahead of a new surge of colder air coming down from the northwest. Portions of Mongolia and northern China are already feeling the effects of this new rush of cold air as temperatures drop into bitter below-zero readings to stay. Slightly warmer air ahead of the new front is causing a bit of a bump in temperatures across the region, which will fall again from west to east over the next 48 hours. Clouds and showers will linger over the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, while the remainder of the region can look forward to just a few scattered clouds.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Ulaanbaatar	-8	-18	18	0	Partly cloudy
Vladivostok	-1	-4	30	25	Partly cloudy

Tokyo	12	7	54	45	Mostly cloudy
Xi’an	17	3	63	37	Partly cloudy
Shanghai	14	7	57	45	Partly cloudy

 

CENTRAL

Temperatures are holding steady across the central region as clouds, fog, and showers dominate the region. The heaviest rain will be in southern China, northern Indochina, and offshore in Taiwan, while the southeast coast of China will see scattered showers.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Kunming	16	9	61	48	Fog
Hong Kong	18	16	64	61	Scattered showers likely
Taipei	22	19	72	66	Periods of rain
Naha	25	21	77	70	Mostly cloudy
Hanoi	18	16	64	61	Periods of rain

 

SOUTH

Slightly drier air has filtered down into the northern portions of the south region, as much of Indochina and the northern half of the Philippines will see a warm day with scattered clouds. The southern half of the region remains mired in deep tropical moisture, and with a lift from the warm afternoon sun, will see a good chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Siem Reap	32	21	90	70	Partly cloudy
Ho Chi Minh	33	24	91	75	Partly cloudy
Manila	31	24	88	75	Partly cloudy
Davao City	32	24	90	75	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Brunei	31	24	88	75	Thunderstorms possible
Singapore	30	24	86	75	Thunderstorms likely

 

TROPICS

95W INVEST has been upgraded to tropical depression 25W, while another weak tropical depression springs up to the southeast.

What was 95W INVEST has been upgraded to a tropical depression by both J.M.A. (Japan Meteorological Agency) and the J.T.W.C. (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) as it slowly gathers strength east of the Mariana Islands. Conditions are not favorable for a significant strengthening event, so this system is expected to stay relatively weak as it tracks slowly to the NW. long-range models are doing nothing at all with this system, and it will likely dissipate in the coming days.

96W INVEST has been designated near the Marshall Islands/Micronesia boundary, and is actually quite impressive on satellite photos with a clear L.L.C.C. (Low-Level Circulation Center) and some banding of showers and clouds. Long-range computer models aren’t doing much with this system either, as more unfavorable atmospheric conditions are expected to set up across the region in the coming days.

With the two tropical disturbances, we find quite a bit of cloudiness and showers activity across much of the tropics. Wake Island and Guam will see the best weather, with everyone else likely getting a few showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Guam	31	26	88	79	Partly cloudy
Yap	29	26	84	79	Thunderstorms possible
Palau	29	26	84	79	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Chuuk	29	27	84	81	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Pohnpei	32	26	90	79	Mostly cloudy
Majuro	29	28	84	82	Thunderstorms possible
Wake	29	26	84	79	Mostly fair

 

Have a thrilling Thursday!
