There's some serious moisture in the east Asia Pacific this year. Today HK received a record downpour causing widespread flooding. Haven't been paying attention so don't know if this is remnants from Haikui or some separate storm.

Meanwhile, the se coast of Taiwan is still getting drenched. 250 mil in Cheng Gong yesterday & it's pouring there again now.

There does seem to be some opposites balancing act going on with predominantly hot dry conditions in Aus. As i remember, during the floods in Aus, it was unusually dry in Taiwan.
