According to the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), Hong Kong residents endured hotter weather in July 2024 compared to previous years. The HKO reported that a stronger-than-normal subtropical ridge over southern China led to a monthly mean temperature of 29.9 degrees Celsius in July - 1 degree above the normal and the fourth highest July temperature on record.
The mean maximum temperature was 32.4 degrees, 0.8 degrees above average, while the mean minimum was 28.0 degrees, 1.1 degrees higher than usual. These marked the ninth and third highest July maximums and minimums, respectively.
On July 6th, a daily maximum of 34 degrees was recorded, considered among the highest for moderate heat levels. The hottest day of the month was July 7th, which reached a high of 34.8 degrees.
While rainfall for the month was about 19% above normal at 458.5 millimeters, the total rainfall for the first seven months of 2024 was still around 10% below average at 1,321.9 millimeters.
The HKO's data indicates that Hong Kong experienced a prolonged period of hotter than typical weather in July 2024, with multiple high temperature records either matched or exceeded during the month. This underscores the impact of the stronger-than-normal subtropical conditions over southern China.
香港天文台報告 7月份香港天氣比往年更熱
據香港天文台(HKO)報告,與以往相比,2024年7月香港居民經歷了更熱的天氣。HKO表示,華南地區的副熱帶高壓較往年強大,7月份的平均氣溫達到29.9攝氏度,高於正常水平1度,為歷史第四高。
7月份的最高平均氣溫為32.4度,高於正常0.8度,而最低平均氣溫為28.0度,高於正常1.1度。這分別為歷史第九高和第三高。
7月6日錄得每日最高34度,屬於中度熱浪範圍內較高的記錄。本月最高氣溫為7月7日的34.8度。
雖然7月份降雨量約為正常水平的119%,達到458.5毫米,但今年首7個月的總降雨量仍比正常低約10%,為1,321.9毫米。
HKO的數據顯示,2024年7月香港經歷了持續的異常高溫天氣,多個高溫記錄被打破或平等,這突顯了華南地區副熱帶高壓較往年強大的影響。
