Hong Kong logs lowest temperature this autumn at 22 degrees Celsius

Hong Kong recorded its lowest temperature yet this autumn, with the mercury dropping to 22 degrees Celsius (71.6 Fahrenheit) at 6am on Thursday, according to the forecaster.

The Hong Kong Observatory also said Tropical Cyclone Trami would enter within 800km (497 miles) of the city from Thursday night to Friday morning, adding that the No 1 standby signal would be issued as the storm moved westward and intensified.

“Depending on the movement of Trami and the change in local wind conditions, the Observatory will assess the need for issuing the No 3 typhoon signal,” it noted.

“There are uncertainties in the subsequent movement and intensity of Trami.”

Under the combined influence of Trami and the northeast monsoon, the weather is expected to be windy and cloudy with a few showers over the coast of southern China on Friday and over the weekend.

The temperature on Thursday will range between 22 and 29 degrees.
