HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 69 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 11. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS EXTREME. THE

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION. IT IS EXPECTED TO ENTER WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG LATER TODAY (1 JULY). THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO.1 TOMORROW
MORNING (2 JULY). THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND
TO BEIBU WAN TOMORROW AND ON FRIDAY (2 AND 3 JULY). IT WILL
MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF 400 KILOMETRES OR MORE FROM HONG
KONG. UNDER ITS INFLUENCE, LOCAL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN ON
FRIDAY AND WEATHER WILL BECOME UNSETTLED. THERE WILL BE
SWELLS. SQUALLY SHOWERS WILL INCREASE GRADUALLY, AND
SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVIER IN SOME AREAS. DUE TO THE EFFECT OF
TERRAIN, GALE FORCE WINDS MAY AFFECT PARTS OF HIGH GROUND.
WITH THE TROPICAL CYCLONE MAKING LANDFALL OVER THE WESTERN
COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA DURING THE WEEKEND (4 TO 5 JULY),
LOCAL WEATHER WILL BE DOMINATED BY AN ACTIVE SOUTHERLY
AIRSTREAM GRADUALLY. IT WILL STILL BE WINDY WITH OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE
OBSERVATORY. WHEN ENGAGING IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES,
ESPECIALLY WATER SPORTS, PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN
WEATHER AND PAY ATTENTION TO SAFETY AT ALL TIMES.
