HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 1 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 27 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 33 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 7. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS HIGH.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, TROPICAL CYCLONE TRAMI
WILL ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG TONIGHT (24
OCTOBER) TO TOMORROW MORNING (25 OCTOBER). THE OBSERVATORY
WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 BETWEEN 10 P.M.
TONIGHT AND 4 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING. TRAMI IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND GRADUALLY.
MEANWHILE, THE NORTHEAST MONSOON WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN
CHINA. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF TRAMI AND THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON, IT WILL BE WINDY AND BECOME CLOUDY WITH A FEW
SHOWERS OVER THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA ON FRIDAY AND OVER
THE WEEKEND. DEPENDING ON THE MOVEMENT OF TRAMI AND THE
CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
ASSESS THE NEED FOR ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3
ON FRIDAY LATER AND AT FIRST ON SATURDAY. THERE ARE
UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT OF TRAMI. IT MAY
LINGER IN THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND OR EVEN MOVE
EASTWARDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT WILL WEAKEN
GRADUALLY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE
LATEST FORECAST BY THE OBSERVATORY.
