HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 2 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 83 PER
CENT.

 

A BAND OF THUNDERY SHOWERS TO THE NORTH OF HONG KONG IS
MOVING SOUTHWARD AND MAY AFFECT THE TERRITORY IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ON THE
ALERT. MEANWHILE, A STRONG SOUTHWEST MONSOON IS AFFECTING
THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL IS NOW IN
FORCE.
 
BESIDES, SEVERE TROPICAL STORM GAEMI WILL MOVE ACROSS
INLAND FUJIAN AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY, MAINTAINING A DISTANCE
OF OVER 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. UNLESS GAEMI ADOPTS
A MORE WESTERLY TRACK, THE CHANCE OF ISSUING TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL IS RELATIVELY LOW.

STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD BEWARE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGER BROUGHT BY ROUGH SEAS.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 3:00 A.M. TODAY. A FEW SQUALLY
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER HONG KONG.
THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
