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

Showers affected the coast of Guangdong and the northern part of the South China Sea yesterday. Locally, it was mainly cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms. More than 10 millimetres of rainfall were recorded over parts of Hong Kong. The tropical cyclone over the central part of the South China Sea will move towards the vicinity of Hainan Island and western Guangdong in the next couple of days, but there are still uncertainties in its subsequent movement and intensity. The squally showers associated with the tropical cyclone will affect the south China coast in the next couple of days.

At 11 p.m. last night, the tropical depression over the central part of the South China Sea was centred about 210 kilometres west-southwest of Xisha. It is forecast to move north slowly towards the vicinity of Hainan Island.

Weather forecast for Hong Kong

Mainly cloudy with showers and a few squally thunderstorms. Temperatures will range between 26 and 30 degrees. Moderate to fresh east to southeasterly winds, occasionally strong offshore.

Outlook : There will be squally showers and thunderstorms in the following couple of days.

    Significant Weather Information (SIGMET)

    The Airport Meteorological Office is responsible for monitoring hazardous weather and phenomena in the atmosphere that may affect the safety of aircraft operations within a designated airspace over the northern part of the South China Sea. Weather forecasters at the Airport Meteorological Office issues SIGMET information when hazardous weather and phenomena in the atmosphere such as thunderstorms, tropical cyclones, turbulence, icing occur or are expected to occur in the airspace.

    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 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.
