Hundreds of those who chose to go out despite the heat went near the sea for a whiff of fresh air

Hong Kong on Tuesday experienced its hottest ever Chung Yeung Festival on record, with the temperature registering 33.5 degrees at the Observatory at 2pm.

The previous record of 32.5 degrees was set in 1959.

The Centre for Health Protection reminded people, particularly those intending to do some outdoor activities, to take precaution against heat stroke and sunburn.

These include drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration and paying attention to children, the elderly and those with chronic disease as they are more vulnerable to heat stroke.

Press for details

Despite the heat, many people took advantage of the holiday to venture out, including foreign domestic workers who hung out at their favorite haunts across Hong Kong.

But in line with tradition, many locals took to cemeteries to visit their dear departed and sweep  graves.

The Observatory said the weather should become slightly cooler on Wednesday morning, as a northeast monsoon is expected to reach the coast of Guangdong. Some showers are also expected in the next couple of days.
