NORTH

High pressure is building into the north region as the latest Siberian surge pushes through the region. Temperatures are quite cold in the northern half of the region, while areas to the east and south are seeing much milder temperatures. A weak storm system is rolling through the Korean peninsula and Japan today, but moisture is limited with this system, so these locations will only see a few passing clouds as the system moves through. Low clouds and fog will hinder travel in the higher terrain of central China, while the remainder of the region enjoys sunshine and scattered clouds.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Ulaanbaatar	-14	-26	7	-15	Mostly fair
Vladivostok	-7	-15	19	5	Partly cloudy
Beijing	4	-6	39	21	Mostly fair
Seoul	3	-7	37	16	Scattered showers likely
Tokyo	17	6	63	43	Mostly fair
Xi’an	12	1	54	34	Fog and low clouds
Shanghai	14	8	57	46	Partly cloudy

 

CENTRAL

Temperatures are holding steady across the central region as a new surge from the north approaches the region. Fog and low clouds will make for a dreary day in the higher terrain of south-central China, and scattered showers will once again pelt portions of Taiwan, but the remainder of the region should see just a few clouds mixed in with sunshine this afternoon.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Kunming	18	4	64	39	Fog and low clouds
Hong Kong	24	18	75	64	Mostly fair
Taipei	22	19	72	66	Scattered showers likely
Naha	23	19	73	66	Partly cloudy
Hanoi	28	14	82	57	Mostly fair

 

SOUTH

Drier air has filtered down into portions of the south region, evidenced by the increased diurnal temperature differences and a general decrease in cloud cover. A stalled frontal system just north of the Philippines could be a focal point for weak areas of low pressure to generate and slide northeastward over the next couple of days. Temperatures are still quite warm across the region, and the southern half of the region continues to be quite moist and tropical. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible across much of the region, except over Indochina, where the sun will shine through just a few clouds.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Siem Reap	31	21	88	70	Partly cloudy
Ho Chi Minh	32	23	90	73	Partly cloudy
Manila	30	25	86	77	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Davao City	32	24	90	75	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Brunei	33	24	91	75	Thunderstorms possible
Singapore	32	25	90	77	Thunderstorms possible

 

TROPICS

The tropics appear to be drying out quite a bit and convergence continues along the very depressed I.T.C.Z. (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone)

Recent continental surges have succeeded in drying out the general moisture profile of the tropics and have also pushed the I.T.C.Z. quite far to the south, where some scattered areas of convergence continue to crop up. Long-range forecast models aren’t showing any real development of out there, but do show some cold-core systems spinning up in the South China Sea and Philippine Sea along stalled frontal systems to the north. For today, northerly locales within the region ill see plenty of sunshine while areas to the south will still encounter scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

City	High/Low C		High/Low F		Conditions
Guam	31	26	88	79	Mostly fair
Yap	30	26	86	79	Partly cloudy
Palau	29	26	84	79	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Chuuk	30	26	86	79	Thunderstorms possible
Pohnpei	31	26	88	79	Thunderstorms possible
Majuro	29	27	84	81	Scattered thunderstorms possible
Wake	28	25	82	77	Partly cloudy

 

Have a fantastic Friday!
