HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 59 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 11. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS EXTREME. THE
PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE UNDER THE SUN
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO SKIN AND EYES.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, TROPICAL CYCLONE
CONSON WILL ENTER AND MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IN
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IT IS EXPECTED TO SKIRT MORE THAN ABOUT
500 KM TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG AND MOVE IN
THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF HAINAN ISLAND. THE OBSERVATORY
WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 DURING THE
DAY TOMORROW (9 SEPTEMBER). SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSON WILL AFFECT THE COAST
OF GUANGDONG ON FRIDAY, AND IT WILL BE WINDIER OVER THE
REGION. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE
IN WEATHER.
BESIDES, TROPICAL CYCLONE CHANTHU CURRENTLY OVER THE
WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC WILL MOVE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
TAIWAN AND LUZON STRAIT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IT MAY
THEN ENTER THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND
INTERACT WITH CONSON. THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES IN THE
MOVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TWO TROPICAL CYCLONES. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THEIR EVOLUTION.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

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