9-DAY WEATHER FORECAST
GENERAL SITUATION:
A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL AFFECT THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA TO THE SEAS EAST OF LUZON IN
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE MAY EXIST OVER
THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE
UNCERTAINTIES IN THEIR SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT.
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SLIGHTLY, AND HAS A
HIGHER CHANCE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, IT WILL BE WINDIER WITH SHOWERS OVER
THE COAST OF GUANGDONG MIDWEEK THIS WEEK. MEANWHILE, THE
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST OF LUZON WILL GENERALLY
MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF TAIWAN. WITH THE WHOLE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM EDGING CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE COAST
OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA TO SOUTHERN CHINA, THE WEATHER OVER
THE REGION WILL BE UNSETTLED IN THE LATTER PART OF THIS
WEEK.
