HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 2 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 24 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 86 PER
CENT.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE MAN-YI HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES
OF HONG KONG. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 BETWEEN 6 A.M. AND 9 A.M. TODAY (18
NOVEMBER). ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, MAN-YI IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN GRADUALLY. HOWEVER, WITH MAN-YI EDGING
CLOSER TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG, AND UNDER THE COMBINED
EFFECT WITH THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, IT WILL BE WINDY OVER
THE REGION 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. TOGETHER WITH 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 COASTAL AREAS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS.
 
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL RAIN ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL FURTHER WITH A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
OF 18 DEGREES OR BELOW.
