9-Day Weather Forecast General Situation: A strong northeast monsoon will persist over the coast of Guangdong in the next few days. The area of low pressure over the central part of the South China Sea is expected to intensify into a tropical cyclone these couple of days and then move towards the vicinity of Hainan Island and Beibu Wan. Under the combined effect of the northeast monsoon and the low pressure system, it will be windy with heavy squally showers and swells over the coast of Guangdong on Friday and during the weekend. A dry continental airstream will bring generally fine weather to southern China early next week. The broad area of low pressure now over the western North Pacific is expected to develop gradually and move towards the vicinity of Luzon early next week, but there are still uncertainties in its subsequent movement.
