A sharp drop in temperatures is set to grip Hong Kong this week, with the Hong Kong Observatory forecasting a chilly descent to around 12 degrees Celsius as a winter monsoon system sweeps across southern China’s coastal regions.
Meteorologists warn that the cold front will begin its approach Thursday, with temperatures plummeting dramatically by Friday and Saturday. Some northern New Territories regions like Tai Po, Sheung Shui, and Ta Kwu Ling are expected to experience even more extreme cooling, with temperatures potentially dipping into single digits.
Despite the incoming cold, the Observatory reassures residents that the weather will remain predominantly fine and dry, with cool morning conditions dominating the landscape.
The nine-day forecast suggests a brief but intense cold spell, urging residents to prepare warm clothing and take necessary precautions against the sudden temperature drop.
As winter’s grip tightens, Hong Kong stands ready to weather the anticipated meteorological shift, with citizens bracing for a chilly weekend ahead.
