| Tomorrow is expected to be even colder, with some rain patches |
Hong Kong experienced an unexpected dip in temperatures, with the mercury dropping to as low as 12 degrees this morning, and rose only slightly in the afternoon.
Forecasters say they expect the temperature to plummet further later tonight and early tomorrow.
In most parts of the New Territories temperatures plunged even further down, registering at 7.6 degrees in Ngong Ping on Lantau, and 9.1 degrees in Tai Mo Shan, the city’s tallest hill.

The cold weather was
unaccompanied by a significant amount of rainfall that was forecast by the Hong
Kong Observatory for last Monday and Tuesday, but did not materialize.
In a blog, the Observatory explained that the disturbance in the upper atmosphere which was noted last weekend was about 5 kilometers above sea level, and was positioned further north than predicted.
It added the wrong
forecast highlighted the limitations of the models they use in predicting more
accurately severe convective weather and heavy rain.

“The northeast monsoon
will persist over Guangdong today and tomorrow. Temperatures will fall
progressively over the region,” the Kong Observatory said.
It added that a broad
band of clouds will continue to bring a few rain patches until tomorrow.
The weather will
gradually improve over the weekend, before turning noticeably warmer, with
temperatures rising to as high as 25 degrees next Tuesday.
However, the day is
forecast to turn humid and foggy by mid-week next week, as another maritime
airstream sweep across the city.
