Meanwhile, a front extending from a system in central Russia will make its way across eastern Mongolia and northeastern China, producing mostly light rain with localized moderate to heavy rainfall. A trough extending from the same system will trigger mostly clouds and light rain across most of Mongolia, while Japan will see scattered showers on Thursday. Southeast Asia can expect the usual monsoon conditions, with the strongest storms occurring in India, Myanmar, and Thailand, while the Middle East will remain dry and hot.

Temperatures will range from the single digits and teens in Mongolia to 20s and 30s across most of the rest of the continent.

In Australia, Victoria and New South Wales can expect wet condition due a cold front that will cross the region on Thursday. A low pressure system will begin to make its way onshore over southwestern Australia, bringing rain to that area in the afternoon and evening hours.
