Bulletin updated at 06:45 HKT 12/Sep/2017

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

Under the influence of the anticyclone aloft, it is generally fine over southeastern China. Besides, the area of low pressure near the Philippines is intensifying gradually, a tropical cyclone appears to be forming.

At 5 a.m., Typhoon Talim was centred about 1110 kilometres east-southeast of Taibei. It is forecast to move west-northwest at about 25 kilometres per hour across the western North Pacific towards the vicinity of Taiwan and intensify gradually.

Weather forecast for today

Mainly fine. It will be hot during the day. The maximum temperature will be around 32 degrees in the urban areas, and a couple of degrees higher in the New Territories. Isolated showers and thunderstorms later. Light winds.

Outlook : Very hot with sunny periods and a few showers in the next couple of days.


(The above forecast period is valid up to 23:59 HKT today, 12/09/2017; 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.
