HONG KONG - The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a warning about a significant drop in temperatures as a strong northeast monsoon approaches the Guangdong coastline. The region is currently covered by thick rainclouds, causing temperatures to hover around 16 degrees Celsius this afternoon, marking a noticeable decrease from the previous day's warmer conditions.
The forecast for the bustling city indicates a cool and damp weekend ahead. Urban areas of Hong Kong are expected to experience lows of 14 degrees Celsius, while the more rural New Territories will feel an even sharper bite of the monsoon's chill. Throughout the day, temperatures are not expected to rise above 16 degrees. Accompanying the temperature drop are brisk easterly winds, particularly strong offshore and across elevated terrains.
Looking ahead, the mercury is predicted to remain low, especially during the early hours and at night. The Observatory warns of increased rainfall by Monday, with a forecast of more persistent showers. However, a brief period of clearer skies is anticipated on Tuesday before another round of rain sweeps through the region in the middle of next week.
The extended outlook suggests that southern China will continue to experience cool and wet weather due to the monsoon's influence. Monday could bring thunderstorms caused by upper-air disturbances, but these conditions are expected to give way to predominantly fair weather across the region by Tuesday as the disturbances clear. However, unsettled weather may return in the latter half of the week as an easterly airstream is predicted to affect the Guangdong coast.

香港迎接寒冷天氣，預計明天城區氣溫將降至14°C
香港天文台發出警告，隨著一股強勁的東北季風靠近廣東海岸線，氣溫將大幅下降。該地區目前被厚厚的雲層籠罩，導致今天下午的氣溫約為攝氏16度，相比前一天的較暖天氣明顯下降。
繁忙的城市預報顯示，即將迎來一個涼爽潮濕的週末。預計香港城區的氣溫將降至攝氏14度，而較偏遠的新界地區將感受到更加寒冷的季風寒意。全天氣溫不會超過攝氏16度。伴隨氣溫下降的還有清涼的東風，尤其在離岸和高地地區風勢較強。
展望未來，氣溫預計持續偏低，特別是在凌晨和夜間。天文台警告，周一降雨增多，預計會有更持久的陣雨。然而，預計周二會出現短暫的晴朗天氣，之後下週中旬又將迎來另一輪降雨。
長期展望顯示，由於季風的影響，南中國地區將持續受到涼爽潮濕的天氣影響。由於上層氣流干擾，周一可能出現雷暴天氣，但預計隨著干擾去除，周二起該地區將主要呈晴朗天氣。然而，下半周可能再次出現不穩定天氣，因為預計東風氣流將影響廣東海岸。
