HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 60 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 12. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS EXTREME. THE
PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE UNDER THE SUN
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO SKIN AND EYES.

 

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS RELATIVELY LOOSE STRUCTURE AND WEAK
CONVECTION NEAR ITS CENTRE. HOWEVER, THE WINDS AT ITS
PERIPHERY ARE RATHER STRONG. DEPENDING ON WHETHER HONG KONG
WOULD BE AFFECTED BY STRONG WIND TODAY, THE OBSERVATORY
WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL. 
 
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO EDGE GRADUALLY
TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE COAST OF WESTERN GUANGDONG TO
HAINAN ISLAND IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE LOCAL WEATHER WILL
BECOME UNSETTLED WITH SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS.
THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE FUTURE MOVEMENT OF
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE
ON THE ALERT.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. VERY HOT
WEATHER MIGHT CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE CARE TO AVOID HEATSTROKE.
