HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 52 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 6. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS HIGH.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, TROPICAL CYCLONE YINXING
NOW OVER THE SEAS EAST OF LUZON WILL ENTER WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG BETWEEN THURSDAY NIGHT (7 NOVEMBER)
AND FRIDAY MORNING (8 NOVEMBER), THEN MOVE WESTWARDS ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES
IN THE MOVEMENT AND INTENSITY OF YINXING AFTER ENTERING THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA. ALTHOUGH THE CIRCULATION OF YINXING IS
RELATIVELY SMALL, UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE
NORTHEAST MONSOON AND YINXING, IT WILL BE WINDY OVER THE
WATERS AND HIGH GROUND OF THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA OVER
THE WEEKEND. DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YINXING AND
THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, ITS CHANGE IN INTENSITY AND THE
CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
ASSESS THE NEED OF ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 LATER
FRIDAY TO EARLY SATURDAY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY
ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST BY THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

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