HOURLY READINGS

 
AT 8 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 80 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.7. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.
 
SEVERE TYPHOON GAEMI IS MOVING ACROSS THE TAIWAN STRAIT. IT
IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER FUJIAN LATER TODAY AND
ENTER THE INLAND AREAS OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, MAINTAINING A
DISTANCE OF OVER 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. UNLESS
GAEMI ADOPTS A MORE WESTERLY TRACK AFTER MAKING LANDFALL
OVER FUJIAN, ITS CIRCULATION WILL BE RELATIVELY FAR FROM
THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY AND THE CHANCE OF ISSUING TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL IS RELATIVELY LOW. MEANWHILE, THE
SOUTHWEST MONSOON OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA WILL BECOME MORE ACTIVE TODAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONG
OFFSHORE, OCCASIONALLY REACHING GALE FORCE ON HIGH GROUND
LATER TODAY AND AT FIRST TOMORROW. DEPENDING ON THE CHANGES
IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER
ISSUING THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL.
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER SUBSIDING AIR OF GAEMI, IT
WILL STILL BE VERY HOT TODAY AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL
REACH 35 DEGREES OR ABOVE OVER PARTS OF THE TERRITORY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO TRIGGER THUNDERY SHOWERS LATER TODAY.
THERE WILL BE MORE SHOWERS AND A FEW SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE COASTAL AREAS ON FRIDAY AND DURING THE WEEKEND.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST
WEATHER FORECAST.
 
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.
