THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IS BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE

PRESSURE WILL EDGE GRADUALLY TOWARDS THE COAST OF WESTERN
GUANGDONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND INTENSIFY
SLIGHTLY. LOCALLY, THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND
SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SHOWERS
WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY
MONITOR THE MOVEMENT OF THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE.

WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.
