Hong Kong Swelters on Last Day of Chung Yeung Holiday Weekend; Observatory Forecasts 32°C Monday as Yellow Fire Danger Warning Stays in Force
Hong Kong is set for another hot, dry day on Monday, the final day of the Chung Yeung Festival long weekend. The Hong Kong Observatory forecast mainly fine and very dry weather on Oct. 19, with a maximum temperature of around 32 degrees Celsius in urban areas and one or two degrees higher in the New Territories, under the influence of a dry northeast monsoon and the outer subsiding air of Super Typhoon Champi. A Yellow Fire Danger Warning is in force, and the Observatory urged the public to beware of fire hazards, as large crowds headed to hillsides and cemeteries over the festival weekend. Looking ahead, the Observatory said winds over the Guangdong coast would strengthen and the weather would turn more unsettled later in the week as Champi approaches and a replenishment of the monsoon arrives, with temperatures easing slightly.
