Synoptic situation

Still the same configuration on the surface pressure map of today: a belt of low pressure to the South of the Himalaya's. Along the Southern side of this low, a moist and warm airmass is pushed from the Bay of Bengal towards Myanmar. This leads to quite a lot of precip, especially along the Western coastal areas.
Later during the day the Indian depression is slowly filling, which is the first sign of a change. By the end of the night a tropical cyclone is visible on the weather maps. But at this stage it is still to the East of Taiwan.

Synoptic situation

Still the same configuration on the surface pressure map of today: a belt of low pressure to the South of the Himalaya's. Along the Southern side of this low, a moist and warm airmass is pushed from the Bay of Bengal towards Myanmar. This leads to quite a lot of precip, especially along the Western coastal areas.
Later during the day the Indian depression is slowly filling, which is the first sign of a change. By the end of the night a tropical cyclone is visible on the weather maps. But at this stage it is still to the East of Taiwan.

Warnings

- strong winds at Ayeyarwaddy/Maubin

- heavy precipitation at Minbya, Kalewa and Hakha
