HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 27 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 87 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.5. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE, AREAS OF
THUNDERY SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE VICINITY OF
PEARL RIVER ESTUARY. LOCALLY, IT IS EXPECTED THAT SHOWERS
WILL BE HEAVIER IN SOME AREAS OVER THE TERRITORY AND THERE
WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN WEATHER.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:
