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

The northeast monsoon affected the coast of Guangdong yesterday, and a band of clouds covered the region. Besides, Tropical Cyclone Yutu weakened into an area of low pressure over the northeastern part of the South China Sea yesterday morning. Locally, it was cloudy with one or two light rain patches yesterday. The northeast monsoon is expected to persist over the coast of Guangdong in the next couple of days. With the band of clouds covering the south China coast thinning out, the weather over the region will improve gradually early this week.

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.

Tropical Cyclone Warning for Shipping

Severe Weather Information Centre

Bulletin issued at 06:30 HKT 03/Nov/2018


Tropical Cyclone Warning

At 022100 UTC, Tropical Depression Yutu (1826) has weakened into an area of low pressure.

No further warnings on this area of low pressure will be issued by the Hong Kong Observatory unless re-intensification takes place.




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.

Yesterday's (03 Nov 2018) average ambient gamma radiation
dose rate taken outdoors in Hong Kong ranged from 0.09 to

range of fluctuation of the background radiation level in
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 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.
