Hong Kong to get thunderstorms, year’s first ‘significant rainfall’ on Tuesday
‘The weather is expected to become unsettled over the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary towards midnight on Tuesday,’ forecaster says
Hong Kong will experience thunderstorms and its first “relatively significant rainfall” of the year on Tuesday, the forecaster has said.
The Hong Kong Observatory said on Monday that a cold front over central China was gradually moving southwards, while showers and severe thunderstorms associated with upper-air disturbances were also affecting inland Guangdong.
“The weather is expected to become unsettled over the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary towards midnight on Tuesday,” it said.
“The first relatively significant rainfall episode of this year will occur over Hong Kong [on Tuesday], and there may be isolated thunderstorms.”
Under the influence of the associated northeast monsoon and its replenishment, the Observatory also said that temperatures would fall progressively in the following couple of days.
