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

A broad trough of low pressure is bringing showers and thunderstorms to the northern part of the South China Sea and the coast of Guangdong. Locally, more than 10 millimetres of rainfall were recorded over many places in the afternoon. Besides, an area of low pressure is bringing unsettled weather to the seas east of Taiwan.

Weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow

Cloudy with showers and a few squally thunderstorms. Temperatures will range between 26 and 29 degrees. Moderate south to southeasterly winds.

Outlook : There will still be showers and thunderstorms on Saturday. Showers will ease off with sunny periods early next week.

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.
