HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 9 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 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.

 

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, THE WEATHER
IS CURRENTLY FINE IN HONG KONG. ON THE OTHER HAND,
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, TROPICAL CYCLONE
KOMPASU WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT TODAY (11
OCTOBER) AND COME WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL BY THEN.  UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT
OF KOMPASU AND THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, WINDS OVER THE COAST
OF SOUTHERN CHINA WILL STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. WITH KOMPASU MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND EDGING CLOSER TO HONG KONG,
THE LOCAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE LATER
TOMORROW.  WINDS WILL ALSO FURTHER STRENGTHEN.  KOMPASU IS
EXPECTED TO BE CLOSEST TO HONG KONG EARLY ON WEDNESDAY,
SKIRTING AROUND 400 KILOMETRES TO THE SOUTH OF THE
TERRITORY.  WINDS MAY REACH GALE FORCE OVER SOME AREAS IN
THE TERRITORY AND THERE MAY BE WIDESPREAD RAINSTORMS WITH
SQUALLS.  SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH KOMPASU WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT THE COAST OF GUANGDONG IN THE LATTER PART OF THIS
WEEK.  MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY AND THE
CHANGE IN WEATHER IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  PEOPLE PLANNING
FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND GRAVE SWEEPING NEED TO PREPARE
BACKUP OR CONTINGENCY PLANS DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.
