Cold front likely to bring cooler weather to Hong Kong with lowest temperature of autumn so far expected on Tuesday
- Observatory says cold front expected to form over central China and will move across south China coast around Monday night
- Minimum temperature on Tuesday forecast to drop to 17 degrees Celsius from 19 degrees the day before
Hong Kong is in line for what could be the coolest night of the autumn so far as weathermen predict a cold front will bring the mercury down to 17 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.
The Observatory said a cold front was expected to form over central China and would move across the south China coast around Monday night.
“The associated intense northeast monsoon will bring cool weather to southern China in the next couple of days,” Observatory scientific officer Andy Lai Wang-chun said on Sunday.
According to the Observatory, the weather would be mainly fine on Monday, with a minimum temperature of about 22 degrees in the morning, rising to around 28 degrees during the day.
It would turn “appreciably cooler” on Monday night with temperatures falling to around 19 degrees. And the minimum temperature on Tuesday was forecast to drop further to 17 degrees.
“If that happens, it will be the lowest temperature recorded so far this autumn,” Lai said.
