Cold front to bring significant temperature drop to Guangdong next week
Hong Kong Observatory says a cold front will reach Guangdong in the middle to late next week, causing a significant temperature drop after a warm spell.
The Hong Kong Observatory said on 11 November that the northeast monsoon will ease slightly on Friday, allowing temperatures along the Guangdong coast to rise. However, a cold front is expected to reach Guangdong in the middle to late next week, bringing a marked drop in temperatures.
The observatory added that an upper-air disturbance will bring showers to southern China on Friday and Saturday, with isolated thunderstorms. An easterly airflow will then bring humid conditions to the Guangdong coast early next week, with reduced visibility in some areas.
According to the observatory, the cold front will be followed by a strengthening of the northeast monsoon, which will increase northerly winds and cause temperatures to fall significantly. It forecast that urban temperatures in Hong Kong next Thursday will range from 19 to 24 degrees Celsius, while the automatic district forecast predicts 17 degrees in Tak Tak and 18 degrees in Shek Kong.
