HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 5 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 33 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 68 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND
ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG. THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE WESTWARDS ACROSS THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE VICINITY OF
HAINAN ISLAND AND THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PARTS OF VIETNAM
TODAY AND TOMORROW. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF AROUND 600
KILOMETRES OR FARTHER FROM HONG KONG. BASED ON THE PRESENT
ASSESSMENT, UNLESS THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION INTENSIFIES
SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CHANCE OF ISSUING TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNAL IS RELATIVELY LOW.
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, IT WILL BE
WINDIER OVER THE COAST OF GUANGDONG IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON
AND THE CHANGES IN THE LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER
INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:
