GENERAL SITUATION:
THE ANTICYCLONE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING GENERALLY FINE
WEATHER TO GUANGDONG TODAY. AN INTENSE NORTHEAST MONSOON IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST OF GUANGDONG TOMORROW. WINDS

THE TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE SEAS EAST OF THE PHILIPPINES
WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF LUZON AND INTENSIFY
GRADUALLY TODAY. IT WILL ENTER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AFTERWARDS. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
WILL TURN TO A SOUTHWESTERLY TRACK GRADUALLY AND BEGIN TO
WEAKEN MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK, BUT THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES IN
THE LOCATION OF THE TURN. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE
MONSOON AND THE TROPICAL CYCLONE, IT WILL BE PERSISTENTLY
WINDY WITH RAIN AND TEMPERATURES WILL FALL APPRECIABLY OVER
THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA EARLY TO MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK.
