The Sun sits low in the southeast sky, casting long shadows as it overheads the Australia / New Zealand region. This positioning marks the start of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and begins the gradual shift toward winter.

Mid-level cloud bands dominate the western Pacific, with tropical convection aligning near the path of Typhoon In-fa approaching Japan. The jet stream's position amplifies these weather systems across the region.

Aurora activity remains muted as geomagnetic conditions stabilize. The Moon shows a waxing crescent phase, while satellite traffic in geostationary orbits remains steady across the Pacific.

Typhoon In-fa is approaching Japan's Izu Islands and Chiba Prefecture, with heavy rain and flooding expected, per NHK.
