HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 66 PER
CENT.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE FENGSHEN HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES
OF HONG KONG. HOWEVER, THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA IS STILL
PRIMARILY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON MOST
OF THE TIME TODAY (20 OCTOBER). WITH FENGSHEN EDGING CLOSER
TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG GRADUALLY, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 DIRECTLY
BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 7 P.M. TODAY TO REPLACE THE STRONG
MONSOON SIGNAL.
 
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF FENGSHEN AND THE MONSOON, IT
WILL BE PERSISTENTLY WINDY AND BECOMING CLOUDY WITH RAIN IN
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. RAIN WILL BE MORE FREQUENT AT
TIMES ON TUESDAY AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL APPRECIABLY TO AROUND 19 DEGREES IN THE URBAN AREAS ON
TUESDAY TO THURSDAY, AND A COUPLE OF DEGREES LOWER IN THE
NEW TERRITORIES.
 
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF SPRING TIDE, THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON AND FENGSHEN, FLOODING MAY OCCUR OVER SOME
LOW-LYING COASTAL AREAS DURING THE HIGH TIDES FOR A FEW
NIGHTS CONSECUTIVELY THIS WEEK. THE WATER LEVEL OVER
VICTORIA HARBOUR WILL RISE TO AROUND 3 METRES ABOVE THE
CHART DATUM AT NIGHT FROM TUESDAY TO THURSDAY. MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER
