Bulletin updated at 23:15 HKT 13/Nov/2019

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

Locally, the weather was mainly fine today. It was dry during the day. A cold front formed over the northern part of southern China today, and moved across the coastal areas at night. The associated northeast monsoon will bring cooler weather to southern China in the next couple of days. Temperature difference between day and night will be relatively large over inland areas.

Besides, the area of low pressure over the seas east of the Philippines intensified into a tropical depression this morning and was named Kalmaegi. At 11 p.m., Kalmaegi was centred about 740 kilometres east of Manila. It is forecast to move west-northwest at about 18 kilometres per hour towards Luzon.

Weather forecast for Hong Kong (Thursday, 14 Nov 2019)

Mainly fine. Slightly cooler in the morning. The minimum temperature will be about 20 degrees in the urban areas, and a couple of degrees lower in the New Territories. Dry during the day with a maximum temperature of around 25 degrees. Moderate to fresh northerly winds, occasionally strong offshore.

Outlook : Fine and dry in the following couple of days. It will be cooler in the morning and at night.

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.
