HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 6 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 80 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.8. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS COVERING SOUTHEASTERN CHINA.
BESIDES, THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION NAMED TALAS, AND IS BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER
TO THE REGION. TALAS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARDS THE
SOUTHERN PART OF HAINAN ISLAND AND THEN INTO BEIBU WAN
TODAY AND TOMORROW. 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 TALAS, 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 WATER SPORTS SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE WEATHER
CHANGES.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 6:45 P.M. TODAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER EASTERN WATERS OF HONG KONG.
