HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 6 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 89 PER
CENT.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION
OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WILL
INTENSIFY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL,
NO. 1 AT 7:40 A.M. THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND
TO BEIBU WAN TODAY AND TOMORROW (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
BRIEFLY. 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.
