Scorching weather will persist across Hong Kong on Sunday and Monday, with maximum temperatures climbing to 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) before a low-pressure system brings squally thunderstorms and unsettled weather by midweek.
The very hot weather warning has been in force since 6.45am on Sunday, with temperatures across the city ranging from 28 to 33 degrees, according to the Hong Kong Observatory. Mercury in Tai Po soared to 34.8 degrees at noon.
“Winds will be weak and the weather will be very hot over Guangdong tomorrow, and thundery showers triggered by high temperatures will affect the region,” the Observatory said.
It added that a broad trough of low pressure was expected to affect the northern South China Sea and the seas east of Taiwan over the next few days, gradually edging closer to the Guangdong coast by the middle to latter part of the week.
Under the influence of the low-pressure system, weather along the southern China coast would become unsettled with increasing showers and squally thunderstorms midweek, the Observatory said.
