In the next 24-48 hours, the continental cold high pressure will continue to weaken. Northeast winds will maintain average intensity over the sea area in the Southeast region.
At high altitudes, the subtropical high pressure with the axis crossing the South is weakly operating; from January 18, this axis tends to shift to the North, crossing the South Central Coast. Wind disturbances at high altitudes are better operating in the Southern region.
In the next 3-10 days, the continental cold high pressure will continue to weaken, but around January 20-21, it is likely to be strengthened again in an easterly direction.
