3-day Weather Forecast Data as of 11:30 HKT 01/Oct/2023

General Situation: The northeast monsoon will affect the coast of Guangdong tomorrow. An anticyclone aloft will bring mainly fine weather to southern China in the next couple of days, but showers and thunderstorms triggered by high temperatures will affect the region. Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone Koinu will move towards the vicinity of the Luzon Strait to the southern part of Taiwan and intensify gradually. It may then enter the northeastern part of the South China Sea. The weather will be windier with showers over the coast of Guangdong in the latter part of this week. Besides, another surge of the northeast monsoon will reach southern China in the middle and latter parts of this week. Under the influence of the northeast monsoon, there are uncertainties in Koinu’s subsequent movement and intensity.
