HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 8 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 26 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 91 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

IN THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS, DUE TO THE LOCAL WEAKENING OF
THE AREAS OF INTENSE THUNDERY SHOWERS APPROACHING THE
TERRITORY FROM THE WEST, THE OBSERVATORY HAS REPLACED THE
RED RAINSTORM WARNING SIGNAL BY THE AMBER RAINSTORM WARNING
SIGNAL.
 
HOWEVER, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ACTIVE SOUTHWESTERLY
AIRSTREAM, SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO PERSIST OVER THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY
TODAY. SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES AT FIRST.
 
THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE SUBSEQUENT
DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREAS OF SHOWERS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
PLEASE CONTINUE TO STAY ON THE ALERT AND TAKE NOTE OF THE
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE AMBER RAINSTORM WARNING SIGNAL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
