Bulletin updated at 14:45 HKT 07/Sep/2017

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

A trough of low pressure is bringing showers to the northern part of the South China Sea and the coast of Guangdong. Locally, thundery showers in the afternoon brought more than 10 millimetres of rainfall over many places in the New Territories, and rainfall even exceeded 40 millimetres over Sha Tin.

At noon, Tropical Depression Guchol was centred about 150 kilometres northwest of Gaoxiong. It is forecast to move north at about 14 kilometres per hour across the Taiwan Strait and weaken gradually.

Weather forecast for this afternoon and tonight

Mainly cloudy with a few showers and isolated thunderstorms. Light to moderate southwesterly winds.

Outlook : Still a few showers in the next couple of days. Mainly fine early next week.

    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    At 070600 UTC, Tropical Depression Guchol (1717) with central pressure 1000 hectopascals was centred within 60 nautical miles of two three point eight degrees north (23.8 N) one one nine point one degrees east (119.1 E) and is forecast to move north at about 8 knots for the next 24 hours.

    Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 25 knots.

    Radius of over 2 metre waves 45 nautical miles.

    Forecast position and intensity at 080600 UTC
    Dissipated over sea.



    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 1987-2016, 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.
