HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 6 P.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 0.6. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR LUZON CAME WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG THIS AFTERNOON. IT REMAINS LOOSELY
ORGANISED AND MAINTAINS A DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG. IT WILL
NOT AFFECT THE LOCAL WEATHER DIRECTLY TONIGHT. THE AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL FURTHER DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, AND EDGE CLOSER TO
THE VICINITY OF THE COAST OF WESTERN GUANGDONG TO HAINAN
ISLAND GRADUALLY. ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK,
LOCAL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY LATER TOMORROW (18TH
AUGUST). THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 TOMORROW MORNING. UNDER ITS INFLUENCE, THE
WEATHER WILL BE WINDY WITH HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER HONG KONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THERE WILL BE SWELLS. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR
THE IMPACT OF THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ON THE LOCAL WEATHER.
