HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 3 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 86 PER
CENT.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG.
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THERE IS A HIGHER CHANCE
THAT THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY
OF HAINAN ISLAND AND WESTERN GUANGDONG. HOWEVER, IT WILL
STILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF OVER 600 KILOMETRES FROM HONG
KONG THIS MORNING, WITH ITS INTENSITY BEING RELATIVELY WEAK
AT FIRST. LOCAL WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
SIGNIFICANTLY YET. DEPENDING ON ITS MOVEMENT, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1
THIS AFTERNOON (20 JULY) TO TONIGHT. UNDER ITS INFLUENCE,
THERE WILL BE SQUALLY SHOWERS AND IT WILL BE WINDY OFFSHORE
AND ON HIGH GROUND IN THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER
FORECAST.
