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

The northeast monsoon continued to affect the coast of southeastern China yesterday. A broad band of clouds covered the region. Locally, it was cloudy with a few rain patches. Around 5 millimetres of rainfall were recorded over many places, and the amount of rain over the urban areas, Lamma Island and Shatin was about 10 millimetres. The broad band of clouds will continue to cover southern China in the next couple of days. The northeast monsoon will be replaced gradually by an easterly airstream midweek this week.

Weather forecast for Hong Kong (Tuesday, 14 Nov 2017)

Cloudy with a few rain patches. Temperatures will range between 22 and 25 degrees. Moderate to fresh northeasterly winds.

Outlook : Brighter in the middle and latter parts of this week. Becoming appreciably cooler and windier overnight on Saturday.

Significant Weather Information (SIGMET)

The Airport Meteorological Office is responsible for monitoring hazardous weather and phenomena in the atmosphere that may affect the safety of aircraft operations within a designated airspace over the northern part of the South China Sea. Weather forecasters at the Airport Meteorological Office issues SIGMET information when hazardous weather and phenomena in the atmosphere such as thunderstorms, tropical cyclones, turbulence, icing occur or are expected to occur in the airspace.

Hong Kong (see Note). The average dose rates measured at the
radiation monitoring stations over various parts of the
territory were as follows :

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.
