A replenishment of the northeast monsoon is expected to affect Guangdong in the latter part of this week. It will be windy over the region. An upper-air disturbance will bring a few showers to the northern part of the South China Sea and the coast of Guangdong early next week. Besides, Tropical Cyclone Kong-rey will move in the general direction of the southern part of Taiwan today and tomorrow.
