HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 8 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 85 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 0.4. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE YAGI HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG. HOWEVER, IT WILL STILL MAINTAIN SOME DISTANCE
FROM HONG KONG AND WILL NOT BRING DIRECT IMPACTS TO HONG
KONG THIS MORNING (3 SEPTEMBER) YET. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1, BETWEEN THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST,
YAGI WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA
GRADUALLY AND FURTHER INTENSIFY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
IT HAS A HIGHER CHANCE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE
WESTERN PART OF GUANGDONG AND HAINAN ISLAND. WHETHER A
HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL TO BE ISSUED DEPENDS
ON THE INTENSITY, CIRCULATION SIZE OF YAGI AND ITS DISTANCE
FROM HONG KONG. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF YAGI, THE WEATHER
OVER THE COAST OF GUANGDONG WILL DETERIORATE IN THE LATTER
PART OF THIS WEEK WITH WINDS STRENGTHENING. THERE WILL BE
HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS. SEAS WILL BE ROUGH WITH SWELLS.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD 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.
