A band of low pressure east of the Philippines is expected to develop into a tropical cyclone as it moves towards Luzon, and gradually intensify as it reaches Hong Kong on Sunday.
The Hong Kong Observatory said in its revised nine-day
weather forecast issued today, Wednesday, that winds reaching force 8 gale
force will be felt offshore and on high ground on Sunday and Monday.
The Observatory said strong winds, heavy showers and
thunderstorms will be felt across Hong Kong and Guangdong’s coastline, and in
northern South China. Seas will be rough with swells.

The gale force wind will be felt offshore and on
high ground, which is the lower threshold for the issuance of No. 8 typhoon
signal.
However, the Observatory said uncertainties remain
regarding the storm’s movement and intensity.
Tomorrow will be mainly fine with minimum
temperature of about 29 degrees in the morning, rising to about 35 degrees in the
urban areas and a couple of degrees higher in the New Territories. It will be
extremely hot with isolated showers during the day.
High
temperatures will persist with isolated showers and thunderstorms in the next
couple of days. More showers later on Saturday.
