HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 8 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 82 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.7. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, SEVERE TYPHOON PODUL
WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG SHORTLY. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 8:40
A.M. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER SUBSIDING AIR OF
PODUL, IT WILL BE VERY HOT DURING THE DAY OVER GUANGDONG
AND HEAT TRIGGERED SHOWERS WILL ALSO AFFECT THE REGION
LATER TODAY. WITH PODUL MAKING LANDFALL OVER THE VICINITY
OF EASTERN GUANGDONG TO SOUTHERN FUJIAN TOMORROW (14
AUGUST), ITS ASSOCIATED RAIN BAND WILL BE RATHER CLOSE TO
THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. LOCALLY, THERE WILL BE HEAVY
SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW. 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 TODAY TO EARLY TOMORROW.
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.
