Above, the subtropical high pressure with an axis through the Central region continues to encroach to the West. The equatorial low pressure trough lifts its axis to 6-9 degrees North latitude, connecting with the low pressure area in the South China Sea and combined with high-altitude East wind disturbances.
In the next 3-10 days, the continental high pressure will weaken but from December 13 it is likely to strengthen strongly again, and will continue to be supplemented around December 17-18.
