HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 7 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 27 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 85 PER
CENT.

 

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ADOPTED A SOUTHWARD
TRACK OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LOCATED OUTSIDE OF 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG. THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS
CONSOLIDATING AND IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE GRADUALLY TODAY. IT IS EXPECTED TO ENTER WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG LATER TODAY, AND THE OBSERVATORY
WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 TONIGHT.
THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL MOVE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
THE SEAS SOUTH OF HAINAN ISLAND. IT WILL BE THE CLOSEST TO
HONG KONG AROUND NOON TOMORROW, SKIRTING ABOUT 600
KILOMETRES OR MORE FROM THE TERRITORY. UNDER ITS COMBINED
EFFECT WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEASTERN
CHINA, IT WILL BE WINDY OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA AND THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA TOMORROW. LOCAL
WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH
GROUND. THERE WILL BE SWELLS. UNLESS THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
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.
