HOT YESTERDAY LOCALLY. WITH WIPHA EDGING CLOSER TO THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG GRADUALLY, ITS OUTER RAINBANDS BROUGHT
HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE VICINITY OF
THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY AT NIGHT. LOCALLY, MORE THAN 20
MILLIMETRES OF RAINFALL WERE RECORDED OVER THE EASTERN PART
OF THE TERRITORY AND THE NORTHERN PART OF THE NEW
