An anticyclone aloft covered southeastern China while showers affected the coast of Guangdong yesterday. Locally, it was hot with sunny periods. There were occasional showers and squally thunderstorms in the morning and at night. More than 10 millimetres of rainfall were recorded in many places. The anticyclone aloft is expected to bring mainly fine and very hot weather to southern China today and tomorrow.

Besides, an area of low pressure intensified into a tropical depression over the vicinity to the east of Taiwan yesterday morning. At 11 p.m. last night, the tropical depression was centred about 840 kilometres east-southeast of Taibei. It is forecast to be slow-moving.

Weather forecast for Hong Kong

Hong Kong (see Note). The average dose rates measured at the

Note

      

    1. From readings taken at various locations in Hong Kong in the
past, the hourly mean ambient gamma radiation dose rate may
vary between 0.06 and 0.3 microsievert per hour. (1
microsievert = 0.000001 sievert = 0.001 millisievert)

    2. Temporal variations are generally caused by changes in
meteorological conditions such as rainfall, wind and
barometric pressure.

    3. Spatial variations are generally caused by differences in
the radioactive content of local rock and soil.

    4. The data displayed is provisional. Only limited data
validation has been carried out.
