HOURLY READINGS

 

AT 9 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 30 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 77 PER
CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING'S
PARK WAS 2. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS LOW.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, TROPICAL CYCLONE YAGI MOVED TOWARDS
THE NORTHERN PART OF LUZON AND INTENSIFIED. ACCORDING TO
THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, YAGI WILL ENTER WITHIN 800
KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG TOMORROW (3 SEPTEMBER) AND THEN
EDGE CLOSE TO THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA. IT HAS A HIGHER
CHANCE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE WESTERN PART OF
GUANGDONG AND HAINAN ISLAND AND FURTHER INTENSIFY. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO.
1, BETWEEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW NIGHT. 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 ITS INFLUENCE, 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 AND SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD
TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST.
