HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 4 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 26 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 81 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 1. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, TROPICAL CYCLONE MAN-YI
WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG AROUND
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 BETWEEN 6 A.M. AND 9 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING
(18 NOVEMBER). MAN-YI IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN GRADUALLY.
HOWEVER, WITH MAN-YI FURTHER EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST OF
GUANGDONG, AND UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT WITH THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON, IT WILL BE WINDY OVER THE COAST OF GUANGDONG ON
TUESDAY (19 NOVEMBER). WHETHER A HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNAL WILL BE ISSUED ON MONDAY NIGHT TO EARLY
TUESDAY WILL DEPEND ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MAN-YI AND THE
PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, ITS CHANGE IN INTENSITY AND THE CHANGE
IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS. 
 
BESIDES, THERE WILL BE A SPRING TIDE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. THE SEA LEVEL WILL BE PARTICULARLY HIGH DURING THE
HIGH TIDE OVERNIGHT. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE
NORTHEAST MONSOON AND MAN-YI, THE SEA LEVEL WILL GENERALLY
BE ABOUT A FURTHER 0.3 METRES ABOVE THE SPRING TIDE AT
NIGHT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MINOR FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN
INDIVIDUAL LOW-LYING AREAS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE
TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS. 
 
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL RAIN ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL PROGRESSIVELY, WITH THE MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE FALLING TO 18 DEGREES OR BELOW.
