PRESS WEATHER NO. 148 - HOURLY READINGS

HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 7 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 79 PER
CENT.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST OF LUZON HAS
INTENSIFIED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. ACCORDING TO THE
PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL LINGER AND
STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA NEAR LUZON TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. IT WILL MAINTAIN
A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 700 KILOMETRES OR MORE FROM HONG KONG. 
ITS DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY IS NOT HIGH. WITH
DOLPHIN CONTINUES TO MOVE WESTWARDS, THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
WILL MOVE EASTWARDS TOWARDS LUZON AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DOLPHIN. UNLESS THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG, THE CHANCE
OF ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO.1 IS RATHER LOW. THE
LOCAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY HOT IN THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD PAY DUE ATTENTION TO
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND BEWARE OF HEAT STROKE.
