PRESS WEATHER NO. 107 - HOURLY READINGS

***************************************

HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 69 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 11. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS EXTREME. THE
PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE UNDER THE SUN
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO SKIN AND EYES.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, TROPICAL CYCLONE PODUL
WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG TOMORROW
MORNING (13 AUGUST). THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 BY THEN. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER
SUBSIDING AIR OF PODUL, IT WILL BE HOT DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW OVER GUANGDONG. HEAT TRIGGERED SHOWERS WILL ALSO
AFFECT THE REGION LATER TOMORROW. WITH PODUL MAKING
LANDFALL OVER THE VICINITY OF EASTERN GUANGDONG TO SOUTHERN
FUJIAN ON THURSDAY (14 AUGUST), ITS ASSOCIATED RAIN BAND
WILL BE RATHER CLOSE TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. THERE WILL
BE SQUALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCASIONALLY ON
THURSDAY OVER THE TERRITORY. THERE WILL BE SWELLS. 
 
DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PODUL AND THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY, ITS INTENSITY AND THE CHANGE IN LOCAL WINDS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE NEED OF ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS LATER TOMORROW TO EARLY THURSDAY.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD BEWARE OF HEAT STROKE AND DRINK MORE WATER.
