HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 80 PER
CENT.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. IT IS
GRADUALLY MOVING TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE TAIWAN STRAIT
AND SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, COMING WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG. HOWEVER, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION’S CIRCULATION
IS SMALL AND WILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG. IT IS
NOT EXPECTED TO POSE DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE LOCAL WEATHER.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD BEWARE OF HEATSTROKE AND DRINK MORE WATER.
