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
