We have more international weather headlines with heavy rain impacting Japan, hot weather in India and above normal temperatures across north eastern China and Korea.

• JAPAN

Heavy rain continues across Japan due to an active cold front progressing eastwards. Rain and high humidity hit Tuesday morning in central Tokyo.

The heaviest rainfall will be as in Shizuoka with more than 100mm/12hr on Tuesday. Rain in southern Kyushu will end by Tuesday, but since there is high accumulation so far, attention must be paid to debris flow. A heavy rain warning has been issued in Miyazaki. 

Totals well over 100mm are forecast and in some regions around half a metre of rain has already fallen in recent days.
