UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN INTENSE WINTER MONSOON AND A
BROAD BAND OF CLOUDS AND RAIN, IT WAS VERY COLD IN HONG
KONG THIS MORNING. THE TEMPERATURE FELL TO AROUND 6 DEGREES
IN THE URBAN AREAS, A COUPLE OF DEGREES LOWER IN THE NEW
TERRITORIES AND APPRECIABLY LOWER ON HIGH GROUND. THERE MAY
ALSO BE ICING CONDITIONS ON HIGH GROUND. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC, MOTORISTS AND CYCLISTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE
DANGER ON SLIPPERY ROADS. AS THERE WILL BE RAIN AND THE
WIND CHILL EFFECT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT, THE TEMPERATURE FELT
BY BODY WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE.
