The weather around Shanghai was wild ast week with typhoons threatening off the coast. There have been some reports of flooding although the worst appears to have past, for now.
We're into the realm of the 10-day forecasts now, different sites have different opinions but the consensus appears to be maximum temperatures of around 30, very humid (80-95%) and plenty of thunderstorms.

With the weather shown in these pictures the Australian Teams should feel right at home. We know how to withstand a rain storm up here in Queensland and anyone who has played at Cairnlea, Victoria will have all the wet weather gear permanently in their bag.
