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

A dry northeast monsoon is bringing fine weather to the coast of Guangdong. Locally, temperatures in the urban areas fell to around 21 degrees this morning.

At 5 a.m., Super Typhoon Lan was centred about 1170 kilometres south-southwest of Tokyo. It is forecast to move north-northeast at about 35 kilometres per hour across the seas south of Japan.

Weather forecast for today

It will be fine. Slightly cooler in the morning and at night. Very dry during the day. The maximum temperature will be about 27 degrees. Moderate northerly winds, fresh at times.

Outlook : Remaining fine and dry in the next few days. Slightly cooler in the morning and at night tomorrow.

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.
