NORTH
A reinforcing shot of cooler air has settled over the northernmost reaches of the north region, hints of things to come as we get into the weekend and early next week. Air quality levels in Beijing are at hazardous readings, and while snow falls from the hazy skies, there is little relief in sight in the near-term. Some moisture is pushing up from the south, bringing rainfall to eastern China and cloudy skies to the Korean peninsula. Temperatures will be chilly across mainland Asia and Japan, where Tokyo will enjoy scattered clouds and sunshine.

CENTRAL
Warmer air is advecting northward across the central region, ahead of a new surge that will push through next week. The moisture that has been moving through the region has travelled north, leaving behind fair to partly cloudy skies across much of the region, except for northern Indochina, where clouds streaming in from the southwest will keep the sun at bay.

SOUTH
Drier air continues to settle over Indochina, letting the warm sunshine heat things up a bit across the peninsula. Moisture being trucked in the by the strong seasonal northeast monsoon will bring a chance for scattered thunderstorms over the northern Philippines, while tropical moisture associated with the remnants of 94W and 95W will bring clouds and thunderstorms to the southern half of the archipelago. Moisture is entrenched over the Malay peninsula, Singapore, and Brunei as well, giving these locations a good chance for an afternoon thunderstorm.

TROPICS
The tropics remain quiet, aside from weak pulses of energy and moisture in the western half of the region…
The remnants of 94W and 95W will bring plentiful showers and thunderstorms across the southern Philippines today. The ITCZ remains well below the 10 latitude, with most of the region’s moisture settled in below that latitude. There are no areas of concern out there at this time, and most locations in the southern half of the region will see a chance for showers or scattered thunderstorms, while mostly dry conditions will prevail over areas to the north. For more details on the tropical situation, please see the “Western Pacific Tropical Update” by meteorologist Mike Adcock on the site.
