Hongkongers will experience a cold and dry week, as the mercury will fall to as low as 14 degrees Celsius this Thursday. The drop in temperatures will be accompanied by humidity levels of 35%-65% under the influence of the northeast monsoon. However, once the monsoon moderates, the weather will get slightly warmer and temperatures will settle at 17-22 degrees.
On Monday morning, the Hong Kong Observatory reported that temperatures at its headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui were 22 degrees, and that Tai Mo Shan — the highest point in the territory — was 14.5 degrees. The meteorological body expects that there will be some showers during the day, and that temperatures will fall progressively from Tuesday.
The cooler weather comes after Hong Kong experienced four late-season typhoons over the past month — Typhoon Trami for which the observatory raised T3, Super Typhoon Yinxing that warranted a T3, the T8-strength Typhoon Toraji, and Super Typhoon Man-Yi as recently as last week for which T1 was issued.
