HOURLY READINGS

 

AT NOON AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 32 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 70 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 9. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS VERY HIGH.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE NARRA IS EXPECTED TO SKIRT THE VICINITY OF
THE WESTERN COAST OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA IN THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS, MAINTAINING QUITE SOME DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG.
UNLESS NARRA FURTHER EDGES CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE
PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, THE CHANCE OF ISSUING TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNAL IS RELATIVELY LOW. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN
ACTIVE SOUTHERLY AIRSTREAM, THERE WILL BE SHOWERS AND
SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS OVER HONG KONG MIDWEEK THIS WEEK, AND
WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH
GROUND. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ON THE ALERT.
 
BESIDES, TROPICAL CYCLONE GAENARI NEAR TAIWAN HAS A
RELATIVELY WEAK INTENSITY WITH SMALL CIRCULATION. ITS
DIRECT THREAT TO HONG KONG IS NOT HIGH. GAENARI IS EXPECTED
TO DISSIPATE GRADUALLY IN THE VICINITY OF TAIWAN STRAIT
TODAY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 1:30 P.M. TODAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER NEW TERRITORIES EAST.
THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD BEWARE OF HEAT STROKE AND DRINK MORE WATER.
