since saturday, some areas in central to western japan, picked up 500 millimeters of rain in the last 24 hours. the prefecture had 300. into the next 24. and the region is expected to see 200 millimeters of rain. flooding and landslide will continue to be -- certainly a risk here. into wednesday. should see a much drier picture. good to see that, finally things are looking much drier across the korean peninsula too. othe areas to watch for heavy rain. southwestern china, into the bay of bengal. northern myanmar. southwest monsoon is active across the philippines. okay, let's go to the americas. western 2/3 of the continent looking pretty good. not too many problems here. strong, high pressure keeping things clear. but a different story toward the east. a couple systems merging together to bring very heavy rain for parts of quebec. flash flooding issues as well as along the appalachians. we have heard reports of a couple tornados touching down in kansas. and golf-ball-sized hail in michigan. the system is starting to move towards the atlantic coast. we will see severe storms moving fro

some moving into western japan through the weekend as well. let's go now to north america. lots of clear skies here, across canada, the u.s., and, mexico. and you can see, you can see the large rotation in the cloud though. underneath that, a big low-pressure system, bringing in, pretty moderate rainfall across ontario. also going to be dipping down through the great lakes region. coming into, north eastern parts of the u.s., as well. so cities like boston, new york city, seeing chilly showers on saturday. and in the midwest, temperatures are going to drop by 10 degrees. so, it's more like mid october, for you. as we head on into friday and saturday. further towards the south, the florida peninsula, dealing with some, stormy conditions, heavier spots of rain, frequent, thunder, lightning today as well. so we said, cooler to the north. to the south. you'll see temperatures in the low 30s, in places like miami, oklahoma city, houston, nearly at 30 in los angeles as well. okay, let's go to europe. finally. things still looking pretty welt, unstaewelt, unstable. band coming in.

but also this could be dropping about 80 millimeters of rainfall in western japan alone, despite the fact that approaching typhoon from the south. as far as temperatures, though, we're looking rather warm across most of the tropics, bangkok with a high of 34 here, chongqing at 30, and all the way up to, l ulaanbaatar, 20 for yo high. diving sfo to the single digits for friday. towards the americas, continuing to wash a frontal area pushing a cross the central plains, kind of a lingering low pushing through portions of texas combined with an upper-level disturbance. it's going to continue to create some moisture out here, so throughout the rest of your week and your weekend, even early parts of next week, you'll see some scattered rain showers and thunderstorms persisting as that slowly creeps down towards the east. now, this whole frontal area is really just the leading edge of cooler temperatures coming in behind it. portions of the dakotas, over towards montana, you could be seeing some freeze watches. and even farther off towards the north and portions of central canada, you have

scattered showers also in western japan because this frontal line is bringing ample moisture from the south. right now, the front is bringing lots of heavy rain from southeastern russia through the korean peninsula down toward the southern portions of china. the heaviest rain can be found in southern guangdong. we're expecting as much as 250 millimeters of rain over the next 24 hours. as you can see, the system will slowly make its way toward the east. so the korean peninsula should get drier, but instead, much of japan will be affected on your thursday. down toward the south, a enhanc the southwest monsoon, still producing lots of heavy rain in the philippines, indochina, the ma lay peninsula as well as northeastern india. all right. as for the highs, getting up to 32 degrees in chongqing, but looking at moderate temperatures in seoul with a high of 26. tokyo, another hot day with a high of 33 degrees, with plenty of sunshine. all right. heading into the americas. there we can see a cluster of clouds over the atlantic. this is tropical storm leslie. leslie is situated far from any la

and that will be continuing across much of the western areas of japan. here over the yellow sea we have a low pressure system developing and that will be moving into the southern tip of southern -- south korea. and targeting the area with some hefty amounts of rainfall. that would then be moving towards the northeast direction covering hokkaido by the end of the weekend. so much of you in hokkaido in those vicinities do enjoy the weather while you can. northeastern china will be looking at things very fine and nice with warm temperatures as well. but central china, you'll be targeted with a series of low pressure systems developing over shangxi, hanan. 50 millimeters of rainfall in the next 24 hours. that is enough to trigger flooding. further flooding is of concern in northwestern thailand. we're looking at temperatures in bangkok at 29 degrees. so still a lot of the areas over towards the north heating up and also in manila, 32 degrees. tokyo, 30 degrees. a little bit cooler than today but still very hot. ulaanbaatar, 21 for the high but the low again

tomorrow, we're going to see rain moving across from china and coming up across much of western and into central japan. the same band of rain will be impacting south korea. you could see as much as 30 millimeters of rain in the space of just one hour. so that kind of short time heavy rain can lead to flash flooding. the ground here is already saturated so that's going to be another thing to factor in. we have another low developing over chongqing. that's going to be bringing signicant rainfall awell. maybe 50 to 100 millimeters off of this rain band. it will be intensifying as it heads east over the weekend. southern china still seeing thundershowers along the coast. heavy rain has been falling in northern vietnam. we've had reports of more than 300 millimeters of rain in the last 24 hours. also parts of southern and central thailand have warnings for heavy rain. we just got this trough of heavy rain, in fact, from northeastern india right through to the philippines here. and that looks like it's going to be very active into the weekend. temperatures are starting to fall a little bit. we're going to b

japan are likely to see another 200 to 250 millimeters of rain. wednesday should be a lot drier. much of china seeing strong high pressure keeping things clear and settled. south western locations will be seeing some significant showers. the southwest monsoon is active now. the upper 20s across much of the region. the exception is going to be the northern half of japan where temperatures are way above average. let's take a look now into the americas. out towards the west, the western two-thirds of the continent looking fine. we have two systems that will merge and bring a lot of heavy rain across eastern canada and the u.s. today. a flash flooding could be an issue for you in parts of quebec. severe weather and strongest storms will be erupting across georgia and alabama during your monday to tuesday overnight and theheading in towards the mid-atlantic. frost could be an issue for you in ontario and the upper midwest as well. out towards the pacific, 27 degrees in seattle. you're likely to see this continue well in towards the end of the workweek. as we head into europe, across the north, not much of a change here. we have a tree of low pressure systems coming in. we'

got to where japan is now which is kind of a wealthy western country became a. stagnant yeah but if you but i'm looking back at history now it got to where it is before people kind of noticed i mean people sort of noticed japan in the eighty's and it became a threat people notice china when it's at one six it depends how you measure it us g.d.p. per capita not eighty percent of us g.d.p. per capita why because it's huge and that's why so in a sense trying to been found out earlier in the whole kind of holding that i was out earlier well part of your point about what can happen now they have a vast amount of infrastructure they still have to build sewage pollution i mean the pollution investment in their people as well education clean air is investing in people the people breeding that i would probably live in china if it weren't so polluted where they don't like it either they don't like the water problems they don't like any of those crops so there's they've saved a lot of money for a rainy day so when it's george waiting they're going to spend that money how mu
