Bulletin updated at 00:00 HKT 26/Nov/2016

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

The northeast monsoon continued to affect the south China coast yesterday. Locally, it was mainly cloudy. The weather was cool with one or two rain patches in the morning. There were sunny intervals during the day. A replenishment of the northeast monsoon is expected to reach the coast of Guangdong today and will bring rainy weather to the region. Temperatures will fall again.

Besides, the tropical depression over the southern part of the Philippines intensified into a tropical storm yesterday and was named Tokage. At 11 p.m. last night, Tokage was centred about 320 kilometres south-southwest of Manila. It is forecast to move northwest or west-northwest at about 20 kilometres per hour towards the central part of the South China Sea.

Weather forecast for Hong Kong (Saturday, 26 Nov 2016)

Mainly cloudy with occasional rain. Becoming cool appreciably. Temperatures in the urban areas will fall gradually from about 21 degrees at first to around 14 degrees at night, and a couple of degrees lower in the New Territories. Moderate to fresh northeasterly winds, strengthening from the north gradually.

Outlook : Rather cool on Sunday morning. Becoming bright during the day. Sunny periods on Monday.


(The above forecast period is valid up to 23:59 HKT today, 26/11/2016; Regular update at : around 45 minutes past each hour, 16:15 HKT and 23:15 HKT)

    The Hong Kong Observatory's tropical cyclone warnings for shipping are issued about one and a half hours after the time of observation. They incorporate additional information derived from surface and upper-air data and may therefore be slightly different from the real-time satellite or radar-based positions given in the hourly bulletins for public.

    While the forecast positions and track indicate the most likely future path of the tropical cyclone, they may deviate from the actual path taken by the storm.

Note

      

    1. From readings taken at various locations in Hong Kong during
the period 1987-2015, 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.
