CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 10. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS VERY HIGH.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR HAINAN ISLAND WILL MOVE IN
THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA TODAY AND TOMORROW (6 AND 7 AUGUST). IT
WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION, WHILE

OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY MONITOR ITS INTENSITY AND
MOVEMENT. 
 
WINDS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE WEAK OVER THE TERRITORY
TODAY AND TOMORROW. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER SUBSIDING
AIR OF TROPICAL CYCLONE DOLPHIN, THE WEATHER WILL BE
EXTREMELY HOT OVER THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REACH 36
DEGREES OR ABOVE OVER PARTS OF THE NEW TERRITORIES. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD PAY DUE ATTENTION TO PHYSICAL
