A MONSOON DEPRESSION IS AFFECTING THE CENTRAL PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA.  HOWEVER, THE CLOUD BANDS ARE STILL
LOOSELY ORGANISED NEAR ITS CENTRE. THE MONSOON DEPRESSION
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND
TO BEIBU WAN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF ITS OUTER CIRCULATION, IT WILL BE WINDIER WITH
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE COAST
OF GUANGDONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SHOWERS WILL BE
HEAVIER IN SOME AREAS. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR
WHETHER THE MONSOON DEPRESSION WILL FURTHER DEVELOP AND ITS
IMPACT TO HONG KONG. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE
OF THE CHANGES IN WEATHER.

HOT WEATHER MIGHT CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD STAY ON THE ALERT AND DRINK MORE WATER.
