| Forget about doing any outdoor activity this Sunday because stormy weather is expected |
If you’re planning any outdoor activity on Sunday, Jun 14,
forget it. Stormy weather is expected as
Tropical Cyclone Nuri heads towards the northern South China Sea and will be
closest to Hong Kong by then.
The Hong Kong Observatory hoisted Tropical Cyclone Signal
No.1 at 9pm today, Jun 12, as the weather disturbance left the Philippines early
today, moving northwest at about 18 kilometers per hour.
As of 9:45pm, Nuri was packing maximum sustained winds of
about 55kph near its center, was forecast to move northwest at about 22kph,
edging closer to the coast of western Guangdong
The observatory said it will become cloudy
tonight but there will be sunny periods early tomorrow, Saturday, with
a few showers and squally thunderstorms.
The standby signal, No. 1 will remain in force for some
time.
The Observatory says it will consider issuing the strong
wind signal no 3 if the weather deteriorates.
Very hot weather is expected tonight and early tomorrow, with temperatures ranging from 27 to 33 degrees Celsius.
The observatory warned the public of heatstroke and advised
them to drink more water.
Just yesterday, three men who went on separate hikes in Sai
Kung and Hoi Ha collapsed after suffering heat stroke. One of them died in
hospital after complaining of chest pains.
The Observatory said it will be windy with squally showers on
Sunday. The showers will continue until Tuesday.
