General Situation
An anticyclone aloft will bring very hot weather to southern China in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone Podul will intensify gradually and move westwards in the general direction of the vicinity of Taiwan. It will then edge closer to the vicinity of eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian. However, its landfall location and intensity still remain uncertain. Its associated heavy showers and squally thunderstorms will affect Guangdong in the middle and latter parts of this week. With Podul departing and the anticyclone aloft strengthening, the weather will improve over the region over the weekend. A broad though of low pressure is expected to bring unsettled weather to the northern part of the South China Sea early next week.
