HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 3 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 73 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 4. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.

 

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. IT IS EXPECTED TO ENTER WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 BETWEEN 6
P.M. AND 8 P.M. TONIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST,
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE SEAS SOUTH OF
HAINAN ISLAND, AND WILL BE CLOSEST TO HONG KONG AROUND NOON
TOMORROW (29 AUGUST), SKIRTING AROUND 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 TODAY AND TOMORROW. LOCAL WINDS
WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG IN SOME AREAS, INCLUDING
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.
