Hongkongers warned to brace for heavy showers, thunderstorms
But sunny periods expected in next couple of days with hot weather and isolated showers, Observatory says
The Hong Kong Observatory has said the city could experience heavy showers and thunderstorms with light winds on Monday, as a trough of lower pressure moves across the Pearl River Delta.
“Locally, a few millimetres of rainfall were recorded over many places this morning, and rainfall even exceeded 10mm over the northern part of the New Territories and Lantau Island,” the forecaster said at 10.45am.
It also urged Hongkongers to pay attention to changes in the weather.
Sunny periods were also expected in the next couple of days and would bring hot weather and isolated showers, the Observatory said.
It added that a relatively dry easterly airstream might affect the coast of southern China in the next couple of days.
