This is the best summary I could come up with:

Low pressure developed across eastern China on Sunday, tracking across the northern coast of the Sea of Japan on Monday.

On the west side of this low, an unseasonably cold air mass was drawn south across north-eastern China, resulting in a broad area of significant snowfall.

After a little respite as southerly winds return on Wednesday, high pressure is forecast to build southwards from Siberia across much of eastern China and neighbouring areas during the latter part of the week.

Central America felt the effects of Tropical Storm Pilar last week, which formed in the eastern Pacific south of Guatemala on 29 October.

Pilar then drifted slowly eastwards, stalling close to the western coasts of Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras on 31 October.

Heavy rain affected many parts of all three countries, with more than 100mm falling in some areas, leading to flash flooding and landslides, and reports of four deaths.
