HOURLY READINGS


 

AT NOON AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 61 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 FROM
TONIGHT (4 OCTOBER) TO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING (5 OCTOBER).
THE OBSERVATORY WILL THEN ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1.
KOINU IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF
TAIWAN TOWARDS THE COAST OF EASTERN GUANGDONG. IT WILL THEN
MOVE WESTWARDS, EDGING CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL
RIVER ESTUARY. MEANWHILE, IT WILL WEAKEN GRADUALLY UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON. KOINU’S IMPACT ON
THE LOCAL WEATHER WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST IT WEAKENS AND
ITS DISTANCE FROM THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF KOINU AND THE MONSOON, LOCALLY THERE MAY BE
SQUALLY SHOWERS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH STRONG NORTHERLY
WINDS. THE WINDS WILL BE PARTICULARLY INTENSE IN SOME AREAS
INCLUDING OFFSHORE AND HIGH GROUND. THE WEATHER WILL BE
APPRECIABLY COOLER. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE
OF THE LATEST WEATHER BULLETIN.

 

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.
