Bulletin updated at 03:20 HKT 27/Apr/2017

Here is the latest weather bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.

The bands of thundery showers associated with a trough of low pressure are affecting the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary gradually. Locally, visibility was rather low around midnight. The visibility at Waglan Island was below 1000 metres.

At 2 a.m., Tropical Depression Muifa was centred about 620 kilometres northwest of Yap. It is forecast to move north-northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour across the western North Pacific to the east of the Philippines.

Weather forecast for today

Cloudy with a few showers. Showers will be more frequent with thunderstorms and rather low visibility at first. Temperatures will range between 20 and 24 degrees. Light winds, becoming moderate northeasterly winds, fresh at times.

Outlook : The weather will improve in the following couple of days.


(The above forecast period is valid up to 23:59 HKT today, 27/04/2017; Regular update at : around 45 minutes past each hour, 16:15 HKT and 23:15 HKT)

Note

      

    1. From readings taken at various locations in Hong Kong during
the period 1987-2016, the background ambient gamma radiation
levels may vary between 0.06 and 0.30 microsievert per hour.

    2. The extent of health effects to a person as a result of
exposure to radiation is expressed by a physical quantity
called equivalent dose, in unit of sievert.  Protective
action may be required if there is an increase in the
ambient gamma dose rate above background such that the total
additional dose is expected to exceed 5000 microsieverts in
a relatively short period of time. For example, a dose of
5000 microsieverts may be reached when the ambient gamma
dose rate is 1000 microsieverts per hour (several thousand
times above background) and lasts for 5 hours.

    3. The readings of ambient gamma radiation level from
instrument are expressed in unit of gray, which is
numerically equal to the gamma dose expressed in sievert.
