PRESS WEATHER NO. 092 - HOURLY READINGS

***************************************

HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 73 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 5. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, TROPICAL CYCLONE
KOINU WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG
TOMORROW (4 OCTOBER) AFTERNOON. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE
THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 TOMORROW NIGHT. KOINU IS EXPECTED
TO EDGE CLOSER TO THE EASTERN COAST OF GUANGDONG. IT MAY
THEN MOVE WESTWARDS ALONG THE COAST OF GUANGDONG AND ITS
ADJACENT WATERS, AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON. HOWEVER, KOINU’S IMPACT ON THE
LOCAL WEATHER WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST IT WEAKENS AND ITS
DISTANCE FROM THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY. IF KOINU WEAKENS
SLOWLY AND COMES CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY, IT WILL BE RATHER WINDY WITH SQUALLY SHOWERS OVER
THE REGION ON FRIDAY (6 OCTOBER) AND OVER THE WEEKEND. THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER BULLETINS
FROM THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. PROLONGED
HEAT ALERT! PLEASE DRINK SUFFICIENT WATER. IF FEELING
UNWELL, TAKE REST OR SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. IF NEEDED, SEEK
MEDICAL ADVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
