Latest radar from Nanning shows widespread light to moderate rains continue to impact the area. So far we've received reports of up to 180mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours alone. Up to 100mm of rain is still possible tonight and into tomorrow. For the latest radar images and weather forecasts from China, please click HERE (CMA Official Website).
Tropical Storm Rumbia will continue weakening today, becoming a Tropical Depression later this afternoon. The storm could completely dissipate by as early as tonight. However, remnants of Rumbia will still continue to bring scattered rain showers across Southwestern China through tomorrow.
This is our final update for Tropical Storm Rumbia. The rest of the Western Pacific Basin is currently free from Tropical Cyclones and it looks like it'll remain that way through the next few days.
