A couple of tropical systems seek attention in eastern Asia

New Delhi, A tropical storm Maliksi could strengthen into a typhoon while moving north and northwest of Japan. The storm would not make a landfall but could send high waves to the east coast and outer bands of the storm could bring periods of heavy rain along the coast. The rain could be stronger in the afternoon and evening.

A tropical low could build up as a storm in the South China Sea to bring significant showers over nearby Luzon but would not make landfall in Philippines. The system is expected to move across Vietnam later this week.

However, typical tropical rains and thunderstorms are likely over Philippines through Indonesia. A fairly weak cold front through northern China may bring light to moderate rain from North Korea through northern China.
