Hong Kong temperatures to hit 11 degrees Celsius next week
Observatory expects Monday to mark coolest period in coming days, before temperatures rise to 13 degrees on first day of Year of the Snake
Temperatures in Hong Kong will begin falling on Sunday and fall as low as 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 Fahrenheit) on the days after as a cold front is expected to move across the coastal areas of southern China.
The Observatory said that although conditions were relatively warm with sunny periods on Saturday, the mercury would dip to a minimum 13 degrees the following day with strengthened winds.
“A cold front is expected to move across the coastal areas of southern China during the day [on Sunday]. The associated intense winter monsoon will bring cold and very dry weather to the region early next week,” the forecaster said.
“It will be very cold in the morning over inland areas. Under the influence of an easterly airstream, it will become cloudier gradually and remain cool in the middle and latter parts of next week.”
Temperatures will be warmer in the latter half of the week at between 16 and 20 degrees. Conditions will be mainly cloudy with one or two patches of light rain.
