Hong Kong is gearing up for a scorching Friday and an unsettled weekend as showers and thunderstorms are expected to hit the region. The weather forecast indicates a shift in conditions, with a cooler and cloudier atmosphere prevailing due to an easterly airstream. Compared to the previous day, temperatures experienced a slight drop of five degrees in the afternoon. The morning witnessed sporadic rain, while intermittent sunshine broke through the clouds during the day.
Meteorologists predict that the current easterly winds, which are bringing cooler temperatures to the coasts of Guangdong and Hong Kong, will soon give way to warmer southerly currents. This transition is expected to bring higher temperatures and the possibility of occasional showers to the area in the coming days.
Thursday's weather outlook for Hong Kong indicates mainly cloudy skies with isolated showers. Those awake during the early hours are likely to witness coastal mist during dawn and dusk. The day will begin with a mild temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, gradually warming up to a more pleasant 28 degrees as the sun makes sporadic appearances. Gentle easterly breezes will shift to the south and southeast throughout the day.
Looking ahead, residents can expect a hot Friday with a chance of one or two showers. The weather is anticipated to become more volatile on Saturday, with unsettled conditions predicted. Sunday and Monday are likely to experience increased shower and thunderstorm activity as the region adjusts to the more turbulent weather patterns.
