HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 5 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 24 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 82 PER
CENT.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, TROPICAL CYCLONE MAN-YI MOVED
WEST-NORTHWEST STEADILY, ENTERING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 06:40
A.M. 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
TOMORROW (19 NOVEMBER). WHETHER A HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNAL WILL BE ISSUED TONIGHT TO EARLY TOMORROW
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 TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT. 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.
