WEATHER: FRIENDLY CONDITIONS LOCALLY BUT NOT OVERSEAS

The cold nights and frosty mornings are going to continue, but the days will become milder as a large high moves across the region.

South west to south east winds will ease across the weekend.

The El Nino is already having a profound affect on global weather. The first super Typhoon Souldelor intensified, with core winds peaking at 360km/h.

The storm is weakening, but will impact Taiwan heavily in the coming days, before moving on to East China. It will dump huge amounts of rain, causing extensive flooding and damage in both countries.
