GUANGDONG YESTERDAY. THUNDERY SHOWERS TRIGGERED BY HIGH
TEMPERATURES AFFECTED THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON. LOCALLY,
THERE WERE SUNNY PERIODS YESTERDAY. IT WAS VERY HOT DURING
THE DAY. TEMPERATURES OVER MANY PLACES ROSE TO 33 DEGREES
OR ABOVE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND SEVERE
SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. BESIDES, UPPER-AIR DISTURBANCES
BROUGHT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHEASTERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA YESTERDAY. THE UPPER-AIR
DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED TO BRING HEAVY SHOWERS AND
SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG AND THE
SEAS SOUTH OF IT TODAY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BROAD AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA BROUGHT UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION
YESTERDAY. IT WILL DEVELOP GRADUALLY INTO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE TODAY, AND THEN MOVE TOWARDS HAINAN ISLAND AND THE
SEAS SOUTH OF IT. HOWEVER, ITS INTENSITY REMAINS UNCERTAIN.
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND A
