HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 42 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 7. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS HIGH.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, THE TROPICAL
CYCLONE NEAR THE LUZON STRAIT WILL ENTER THE NORTHEASTERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA TOMORROW (16 OCTOBER)
AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE, AN INTENSE REPLENISHMENT OF THE
NORTHEAST MONSOON WILL REACH SOUTHERN CHINA. HONG KONG IS
EXPECTED TO MAINLY COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
NORTHEAST MONSOON, WHILE THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL KEEP A
DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 400 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG AND ITS
DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY IS NOT HIGH. LOCALLY, IT
WILL BE WINDY EARLY TO MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK. THE OBSERVATORY
WILL ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL DEPENDING ON THE
SITUATION BY THEN. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL
OFFSHORE, AND WINDS ON HIGH GROUND MAY REACH GALE FORCE.
THE WEATHER WILL BE COOLER FROM TUESDAY (18 OCTOBER) TO
THURSDAY (20 OCTOBER), WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND
19 DEGREES. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE REMINDED OF THE
CHANGE IN WEATHER. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTENSE MONSOON AND THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE FIRE DANGER WARNING IS RED AND THE FIRE RISK IS EXTREME.
