HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 3 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 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.

 

A STRONG TO GALE FORCE NORTHEAST MONSOON WILL PERSIST OVER
THE COAST OF GUANGDONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA INTENSIFIES GRADUALLY AND IT MAY DEVELOP INTO A
TROPICAL CYCLONE TODAY AND TOMORROW. IT MAY THEN MOVE
TOWARDS HAINAN ISLAND AND BEIBU WAN, MAINTAINING A DISTANCE
OF OVER 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. UNDER THE COMBINED
EFFECT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON AND THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM, IT WILL BE WINDY WITH HEAVY RAIN, SQUALLS AND ROUGH
SEAS WITH SWELLS LOCALLY ON FRIDAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND. IF
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY OR EDGES
EVEN CLOSER TO HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL THEN NEED TO
CONSIDER THE ISSUANCE OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS. AS THE WEATHER WILL BE UNSETTLED AROUND THIS
WEEKEND, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES MAY BE AFFECTED. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF CHANGES IN WEATHER AND THE
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.
 
BESIDES, THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE
WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP GRADUALLY AND
MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF LUZON EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT MAY
THEN ENTER AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA, EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA.
THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR ITS MOVEMENT.

STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE EAST. THE PUBLIC SHOULD
BEWARE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGER BROUGHT BY ROUGH SEAS.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
