HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 4 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 32 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 55 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 3. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.

 

UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON AND
TROPICAL CYCLONE KOMPASU, LOCAL WINDS ARE GENERALLY FRESH
NORTHERLIES, STRONG OFFSHORE. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT
FORECAST TRACK, KOMPASU WILL COME WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG OVERNIGHT TONIGHT (11 OCTOBER). THE OBSERVATORY
WILL ISSUE TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL, TO REPLACE THE
STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A DRY NORTHEAST MONSOON, THE WEATHER IS
CURRENTLY FINE IN HONG KONG, BUT 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 (12 OCTOBER). WINDS MAY ALSO FURTHER
STRENGTHEN. KOMPASU IS EXPECTED TO SKIRT AROUND 400
KILOMETRES TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERRITORY EARLY ON
WEDNESDAY. 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.
