HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 9 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 85 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW NEAR LUZON WILL COME
WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG IN THE AFTERNOON TODAY
AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
TOWARDS WESTERN GUANGDONG TO HAINAN ISLAND IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. IT MAY FURTHER DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE, BUT ITS INTENSITY REMAINS UNCERTAIN. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF ITS ASSOCIATED UNSETTLED WEATHER, THERE WILL
BE HEAVY SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE COAST
OF GUANGDONG MIDWEEK THIS WEEK. IT WILL ALSO BE WINDIER
WITH SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE
CHANGES IN WEATHER. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR
THE IMPACT OF THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ON THE LOCAL
WEATHER.

HOT WEATHER MIGHT CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD STAY ON THE ALERT AND DRINK MORE WATER.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 11:00 A.M. TODAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER HONG KONG.
