HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 9 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 70 PER
CENT.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR LUZON HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND IS CENTRED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL,
NO. 1 AT 10:20 P.M.
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ANTICYCLONE ALOFT, THE LOCAL
WEATHER WILL STILL BE MAINLY FINE TOMORROW (6 SEPTEMBER).
IT WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT DURING THE DAY WITH TEMPERATURES
OF AROUND 35 DEGREES IN THE URBAN AREAS, AND TEMPERATURES
COULD REACH 38 OR 39 DEGREES OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
NEW TERRITORIES. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL INTENSIFY PROGRESSIVELY AND MOVE IN
THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE COAST OF GUANGDONG, BUT THERE
ARE UNCERTAINTIES IN ITS INTENSITY AND SPEED OF MOVEMENT.
UNDER ITS INFLUENCE, LOCAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
GRADUALLY LATER ON SUNDAY (7 SEPTEMBER) AND THE WEATHER
WILL BECOME UNSETTLED. IT WILL BE WINDY WITH HEAVY SQUALLY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY (8 SEPTEMBER). SEAS
WILL BE ROUGH WITH SWELLS. DUE TO STORM SURGE, THERE MAY BE
FLOODING IN LOW-LYING COASTAL AREAS ON MONDAY MORNING.
 
DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE, THE
DISTANCE OF ITS STRONG WINDS FROM HONG KONG AND THE CHANGE
IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE
NEED FOR ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS ON
SUNDAY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. PROLONGED
HEAT ALERT! PLEASE DRINK SUFFICIENT WATER. IF FEELING
UNWELL, TAKE REST OR SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. IF NEEDED, SEEK
MEDICAL ADVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
