PRESS WEATHER NO. 172 - HOURLY READINGS
***************************************
HOURLY READINGS


 
AT 7 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 31 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 68 PER
CENT.


 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TRIGGERED BY HIGH TEMPERATURES
ARE AFFECTING SHENZHEN, AND ARE MOVING SOUTHWARDS
GRADUALLY. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT NORTHERN PART OF THE
NEW TERRITORIES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD BE ON THE ALERT.
 
BESIDES, 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:


 
THE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT WILL REMAIN
EFFECTIVE UNTIL 9:00 P.M. TODAY. ISOLATED SQUALLY
