HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 4 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 64 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 3. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.

 

THE TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE SEAS EAST OF THE PHILIPPINES
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT AND ENTER
WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG LATER TOMORROW (24
JULY). THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO.1 BY THEN. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST
TRACK, THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE COAST
OF EASTERN GUANGDONG DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTENSIFY
PROGRESSIVELY. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT ASSESSMENT, IT HAS
A HIGHER CHANCE TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE VICINITY OF
HUIZHOU TO SHANTOU, BUT ITS DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG REMAINS
UNCERTAIN. 
  
THE LOCAL WEATHER WILL STILL BE VERY HOT AT FIRST ON
SATURDAY (25 JULY). HOWEVER, LOCAL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN
GRADUALLY AND SQUALLY SHOWERS WILL INCREASE LATER.
DEPENDING ON THE CHANGE IN INTENSITY OF THE TROPICAL
CYCLONE, THE DISTANCE OF ITS STRONG WINDS FROM HONG KONG,
AND THE LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS
THE NEED FOR HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS LATER
ON SATURDAY. BESIDES, THERE WILL BE SWELLS ON SATURDAY.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS. 
  
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE, THERE WILL BE
HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOCALLY ON SUNDAY
(26 JULY), AND THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
PLEASE 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.
