HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 3 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 86 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 5. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.

 

THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS COVERING SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA IS BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION. THIS
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY GRADUALLY AND
MOVE TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN PART OF HAINAN ISLAND AND THEN
INTO BEIBU WAN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WILL KEEP AT
A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG AND
WILL NOT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE TERRITORY. HOWEVER, UNDER THE
COMBINED EFFECT OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND THE AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE, IT WILL BE WINDIER WITH SQUALLY SHOWERS OVER
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ON SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. PEOPLE OUT TO THE SEA OR ENGAGING IN WATERS SPORTS
SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE WEATHER CHANGES.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 4:00 P.M. TODAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER NEW TERRITORIES EAST.
