HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 34 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 55 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 8. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS VERY HIGH.

 

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. THE WEATHER
IS EXTREMELY HOT AND THERE IS PROLONGED HEAT! PLEASE PAY
ATTENTION TO HEALTH CONDITIONS. DRINK MORE WATER AND TAKE
ALL NECESSARY PROTECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST THE HEAT. AVOID
