Northeast winds continue to blow strongly in the southern seas. Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the Central region will maintain a stable intensity, while the equatorial low pressure trough will lift its axis to the North at about 5-8 degrees North latitude and combined with high-altitude East wind disturbances.
In the next 3-10 days, the continental high pressure will gradually weaken, then strengthen strongly around December 12-13 and is likely to strengthen again on December 17-18. The low pressure trough at about 5-8° North latitude continues to operate with high-altitude easterly wind disturbances.
The Northeast wind in the southern seas will continue to blow strongly, and from December 10-12, it will decrease to an average level. Above, the subtropical high pressure will strengthen from December 10 and encroach on the West, then gradually weaken and slowly retreat to the East from December 13.
