Hong Kong temperatures to drop sharply next Wednesday as cold front arrives
The Hong Kong Observatory warned that a cold front will move south from inland China next Tuesday, bringing a significant temperature drop to Hong Kong from Wednesday. Temperatures along the south China coast could fall below 20 degrees Celsius again in the latter part of next week.
The Hong Kong Observatory said that with the southward movement of cold air, a cold front is expected to form over inland southern China next Tuesday and move southwards. Affected by the subsequent northeast monsoon, Hong Kong will switch to northerly winds from next Wednesday, bringing a significant drop in temperatures. During the latter part of next week, temperatures along the south China coast are expected to fall below 20 degrees Celsius again. However, it remains to be seen whether temperatures will reach the lows seen earlier this week or drop even further. The Observatory urged the public to pay close attention to weather changes as the coming week will bring considerable shifts.
The Observatory noted that over the past two to three days, Hong Kong has experienced generally fine and dry weather, with morning temperatures dropping below 20 degrees Celsius. As the monsoon eased this morning, temperatures in urban areas rose back above 20 degrees Celsius, though the New Territories inland areas remained relatively cool.
The Observatory predicted that the weather in Guangdong will become unstable over the next day or two, with showers and thunderstorms. From tomorrow evening, showers will increase, accompanied by some squally thunderstorms and strengthening winds. On Saturday, heavy rain is expected during the early part of the day.
