HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 5 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 72 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 1. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG SHORTLY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 7:10 P.M. TONIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE
PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MOVE IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF 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
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.
