HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 9 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 78 PER
CENT.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LUZON STRAIT HAS
INTENSIFIED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIS AFTERNOON.  IT
WILL ENTER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA TOMORROW (6 OCTOBER 2016)
AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA IN THE FOLLOWING COUPLE OF DAYS.  BESIDES, THE
NORTHEAST MONSOON WILL REACH SOUTHERN CHINA OVER THE
WEEKEND.  AS THE CIRCULATION OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS
RATHER SMALL AND COMPACT, IT WILL ONLY BRING SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT TO LOCAL WEATHER WHEN IT GETS RELATIVELY CLOSE TO
HONG KONG.
 
THE MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE AND ITS INTENSITY
CHANGE AFTER ENTERING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA REMAIN UNCERTAIN
FOR THE TIME BEING, AND ITS INTERACTION WITH THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON IS ALSO A DETERMINING FACTOR.  THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY THE EVOLUTION
OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
