***************************************
HOURLY READINGS


 
AT 5 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 32 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 69 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.


 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, SUPER TYPHOON GAEMI WILL
ENTER WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG TONIGHT (24 JULY).
IT WILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF OVER AROUND 600 KILOMETRES
FROM HONG KONG BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL AT FUJIAN TOMORROW
(25 JULY). MEANWHILE, THE SOUTHWEST AIRSTREAM OVER THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WILL BECOME ACTIVE.
LOCAL WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND ON
HIGH GROUND LATER TOMORROW AND EARLY FRIDAY. DEPENDING ON
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HONG KONG AND GAEMI, WHETHER HONG KONG
WILL BE AFFECTED BY ITS CIRCULATION AND THE CHANGES IN
LOCAL WIND STRENGTH, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING
THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL OR THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1.
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER SUBSIDING AIR OF GAEMI, IT
WILL STILL BE VERY HOT OVER THE TERRITORY TOMORROW AND THE
TEMPERATURES WILL REACH 35 DEGREES OR ABOVE OVER PARTS OF
THE TERRITORY. HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO TRIGGER THUNDERY
SHOWERS LATER TOMORROW. 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.
