Weather forecast for the Asia-Pacific


AP - Monday, November 2

(Posted by CAAI News Media)

Tropical storm Mirinae will produce another day of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms throughout Vietnam and Cambodia on Tuesday as it treks westward through the Gulf of Thailand.

Mirinae is not expected to redevelop after battering the Philippines, where it left 20 people dead as a typhoon.

Elsewhere, a strong disturbance exiting Japan will kick up a few early morning showers in North Korea and the Sea of Japan, as well as light scattered showers in northern Japan on Tuesday.

As the system exits into the Pacific Ocean, a broad ridge of high pressure will build in behind it, bringing pleasant and dry weather to much of eastern China, the Korean peninsula, and southern Japan.

Temperatures across these regions will begin to warm through the afternoon. This warming trend is expected to last until midweek.

For Australia, showery weather in Victoria and southeastern New South Wales will begin to diminish as low pressure exits southeastward across Tasmania and higher pressure returns to the nation.
