Two tropical storms will hit East Asia on Sunday.
Tropical Storm Goni is forecast to bring considerable rain and thunderstorms to China's southeastern Hainan Island and Hong Kong later in the day.
Morakot is expected to weaken from typhoon to tropical storm strength before making landfall in southern China near Fuzhou early Sunday. It will nevertheless bring intense wind and heavy rain to coastal areas and inland.
Elsewhere, a low pressure system will move northeastward up Japan, bringing moderate to heavy rain to the country. Temperatures in Tokyo and Seoul will hit the upper 20s Celsius, while Shanghai will see temperatures in the lower 30s.
For Australia, a low pressure system will sweep through the Great Australian Bight before moving into Victoria and New South Wales. There will not be a tremendous amount of moisture involved with this system, but areas of light to moderate precipitation will fall in Victoria in the afternoon and evening.
Another low pressure system will move inland north of Cape Leeuwin late in the day and into Monday. The rest of the country will remain dry and under the influence of a high pressure system.
Sydney will rise into the upper 10s C, while Melbourne will see temperatures a few degrees lower and Brisbane will rise into the lower 20s C.
