HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 6 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 76 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.4. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE SAUDEL IS MOVING ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS
OF EASTERN CHINA AND HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, SAUDEL WILL
MOVE INTO INLAND CENTRAL CHINA TOMORROW (29 AUGUST) AND
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN. IT WILL MAINTAIN QUITE SOME DISTANCE
FROM HONG KONG AND ITS DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY IS
NOT HIGH. UNLESS SAUDEL ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO THE PEARL
RIVER ESTUARY, THE CHANCE OF ISSUING TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNAL IS RATHER LOW.
 
LOCALLY, MORE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED IN SOME AREAS AT FIRST
TOMORROW, AND IT WILL BE VERY HOT DURING THE DAY. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE, THE WEATHER
WILL BE UNSETTLED ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY (30 AND 31 AUGUST).
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST
WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.
