HOURLY READINGS

 

AT MIDNIGHT AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR
TEMPERATURE WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY 67 PER CENT.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, SUPER TYPHOON KRATHON
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT AND ENTER THE
NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, THEN GRADUALLY
TRACK NORTHWARDS TODAY (1 OCTOBER). IT WILL MAKE LANDFALL
OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF TAIWAN TOMORROW (2 OCTOBER), THEN
MOVE ACROSS TAIWAN, MAINTAINING A DISTANCE OF OVER 500
KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. ITS DIRECT THREAT TO HONG KONG
IS NOT HIGH. HOWEVER, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ITS OUTER
SUBSIDING AIR, THE WEATHER WILL STILL BE VERY HOT OVER
SOUTHERN CHINA TODAY. THE NORTHEAST MONSOON IS EXPECTED TO
AFFECT THE COAST OF GUANGDONG GRADUALLY DURING THE DAY
TODAY. WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE NORTH GRADUALLY AND
IT WILL BE WINDY OVER THE REGION TOMORROW AND ON THURSDAY.
DEPENDING ON THE CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE MONSOON, THE LOCAL WEATHER WILL BE MAINLY
FINE AND DRY IN THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PARTS OF THIS WEEK.
IT WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT,
WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES OF ABOUT 22 DEGREES IN THE URBAN
AREAS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE
CHANGE IN WEATHER.
