HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 4 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 73 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

MAWAR MOVED GENERALLY NORTHWARD TODAY, ADOPTING A TRACK
FARTHER AWAY FROM HONG KONG.  MAWAR IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY PROGRESSIVELY AND MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE COAST OF
EASTERN GUANGDONG ON SUNDAY.
 
 
SINCE MAWAR'S TRACK IS FARTHER AWAY, ITS THREAT TO HONG
KONG IS RELATIVELY LOW IN THE SHORT TERM.  DEPENDING ON
MAWAR'S INTENSITY CHANGE AND MOVEMENT, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL NO. 1
TOMORROW (SATURDAY).
 
 
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST
WEATHER SITUATION IN PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

HOT WEATHER MIGHT CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. THE
