***************************************

HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 6 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 65 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE MATMO WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG SHORTLY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 7:40 P.M. TONIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE
PRESENT FORECAST, MATMO WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS, IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU
PENINSULA TO THE EASTERN PART OF HAINAN ISLAND, AND
INTENSIFY GRADUALLY. LOCALLY, THE WEATHER WILL BECOME
UNSETTLED LATER TOMORROW (4 OCTOBER) TO SUNDAY (5 OCTOBER).
IT WILL BE WINDY AND SEAS WILL BE ROUGH WITH SWELLS. THERE
WILL ALSO BE OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS. DEPENDING ON THE
DISTANCE BETWEEN MATMO AND THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, ITS
INTENSITY AND THE CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE NEED OF ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER
INFORMATION ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.
