Hong Kong is experiencing continued cold weather, with freezing temperatures forecasted for Wednesday. The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a weather forecast indicating that certain districts will reach a low of 3°C. This chilly weather is attributed to the influence of strong winter monsoons and a wide cloud and rain belt.
In the early hours of January 23rd, the temperature in the urban area dropped to a record-breaking low of 6.3°C. However, due to the combined effect of rain and wind chill, the perceived temperature was even lower. The Observatory has received reports of ice formation on the exterior walls of buildings in Tai Mo Shan.
The cold spell is expected to persist for the next day or two, with the temperature in the urban area reaching 7°C tomorrow morning (January 24th). Several districts in the New Territories may experience temperatures as low as 6°C, while Taping Shan is expected to drop to 3°C. As the winter monsoon eases slightly towards the end of the week, temperatures are expected to rise over the weekend.
Tai Mo Shan, the highest peak in Hong Kong, recorded a frigid temperature of -2.4°C, with a thin layer of ice covering the leaves. The Observatory has issued a special weather advisory, warning the public, drivers, and cyclists to be cautious of slippery roads. The combination of rain and significant wind chill will result in a perceived temperature lower than the actual air temperature.
The strong cold weather warning and the cold weather signal remain in effect, with the Observatory predicting strong northerly winds exceeding 40 kilometers per hour on average and gusts reaching gale force at times.
This morning, the temperature recorded at the Observatory Headquarters was 6.5°C, which dropped to 6.3°C by 7 a.m., breaking the record for the lowest temperature of this winter. The exterior walls of buildings on Tai Mo Shan have frozen over, with reports of ice formation on the walls and surfaces of plants. In the northern district, Ta Kwu Ling reached 4.2°C, Ngong Ping 1.3°C, and Tate's Cairn only 1.1°C. Several districts in the New Territories experienced temperatures below 6°C, with Sheung Shui and Tai Po reaching only 4.8°C and Tin Shui Wai at 5.4°C. Tuen Mun recorded 5.7°C.
The Hong Kong Observatory advises the public to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this cold spell.
太平山外牆結冰,周三的預報顯示寒冷持續
香港正經歷持續的寒冷天氣,預計周三將達到冰點的低溫。香港天文台已發布天氣預報,指出某些地區的溫度將降至3°C。這種寒冷天氣歸因於強烈的冬季季風和廣泛的雲帶和降雨帶的影響。
1月23日凌晨,城區的溫度降至創紀錄的6.3°C低溫。然而,由於雨水和風寒效應的綜合作用,實際感受溫度更低。天文台已收到有關太平山建築物外牆結冰的報告。
這股寒潮預計將持續一兩天,明天早上(1月24日)城區的溫度將達到7°C。新界的幾個地區可能會降至6°C以下,而大坪山預計將降至3°C。隨著冬季季風在本週稍微減弱,預計週末溫度將上升。
香港最高峰太平山記錄了零下2.4°C的嚴寒溫度,樹葉上結了一層薄冰。天文台已發布特別天氣警報,提醒公眾、駕駛員和騎自行車者要小心滑溜的道路。雨水和強烈的風寒將導致實際感受溫度低於實際氣溫。
強烈的寒冷天氣警告和寒冷天氣信號仍然有效,天文台預測平均風速將超過40公里/小時,陣風時達到大風的強度。
今天早上,天文台總部記錄的溫度為6.5°C,到7點降至6.3°C,打破了本冬季的最低溫度紀錄。太平山建築物的外牆結冰,有報告稱牆壁和植物表面結冰。新界北區的打鼓嶺達到4.2°C,昂坪1.3°C,大老山僅有1.1°C。新界的幾個地區溫度低於6°C,其中上水和大埔僅有4.8°C,天水圍則為5.4°C。屯門記錄了5.7°C的溫度。
香港天文台建議公眾及時關注天氣預報,采取必要的預防措施以確保安全度過這段寒冷天氣。
