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

HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 2 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 57 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 10. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS VERY HIGH.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE NOUL WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG AROUND THIS EVENING (24 JULY). THE OBSERVATORY
WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 8:40 P.M. TONIGHT.
 
THE WEATHER WILL STILL BE VERY HOT OVER HONG KONG DURING
THE DAY TOMORROW (25 JULY). HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE SWELLS.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS. WITH NOUL
INTENSIFYING AND EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST OF EASTERN
GUANGDONG, LOCAL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY LATER
TOMORROW. THERE WILL BE MORE SQUALLY SHOWERS. DEPENDING ON
THE CHANGE IN INTENSITY OF NOUL, THE DISTANCE OF ITS STRONG
WINDS FROM HONG KONG AND THE LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNALS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT ASSESSMENT, NOUL HAS A HIGHER
CHANCE TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE VICINITY OF HUIZHOU TO
JIEYANG AT FIRST ON SUNDAY (26 JULY), BUT THERE ARE STILL
UNCERTAINTIES IN ITS DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF NOUL, IT WILL BE WINDY WITH HEAVY SQUALLY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY. SEAS WILL BE ROUGH.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE LATEST
WEATHER INFORMATION ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.
