HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 5 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 32 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 67 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST OF LUZON HAS
ENTERED THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA AND IS DEVELOPING GRADUALLY, BUT ITS STRUCTURE IS STILL
LOOSE. IF THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FURTHER DEVELOPS
INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE TOMORROW MORNING AND IS LOCATED
WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 BY THEN. THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARDS HAINAN ISLAND
AND THE SEAS SOUTH OF IT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES
IN ITS INTENSITY. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, IT WILL BE WINDY WITH SHOWERS,
THUNDERSTORMS AND SQUALLS OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA AND THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA TOMORROW
AND ON FRIDAY (28 AND 29 AUGUST). THERE WILL BE SWELLS.
UNLESS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY,
OR ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG, THE
CHANCE OF PERSISTENT STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER THE
TERRITORY IS EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY LOW. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION
FROM THE OBSERVATORY, STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT
TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

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