HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 10 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 81 PER
CENT.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 10:20 P.M. TONIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE
PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MOVE IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND IN THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, LOCAL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TOMORROW
(17 AUGUST). DEPENDING ON ITS DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG AND
THE CHANGE IN LOCAL WINDS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE
NEED OF ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS
LATER TOMORROW MORNING. WITH THE ASSOCIATED RAINBANDS OF
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION EDGING CLOSER TO THE COASTAL AREAS
OF GUANGDONG, THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER HONG KONG TOMORROW, AND SHOWERS WILL BE
HEAVIER AT TIMES. SEAS WILL BE ROUGH WITH SWELLS. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE
AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS. THERE WILL STILL BE
SQUALLY SHOWERS ON MONDAY (18 AUGUST) AND TUESDAY (19
AUGUST), AND SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION
AND WARNING BULLETINS ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY, AND CHECK
ROAD CONDITIONS BEFORE DEPARTING.
