GENERAL SITUATION

SHOWERS AFFECTED THE COAST OF GUANGDONG AND THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA YESTERDAY. LOCALLY, IT WAS
CLOUDY WITH SHOWERS AND A FEW SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. MORE
THAN 30 MILLIMETRES OF RAINFALL WERE RECORDED IN MANY
PLACES. THE TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF WESTERN
GUANGDONG TODAY AND TOMORROW. HOWEVER, DEPENDING ON THE
CHANGES OF UPPER-AIR STEERING FLOW, THERE IS RATHER HIGH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION. ITS ASSOCIATED RAINBANDS WILL BRING SQUALLY
SHOWERS TO HONG KONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
