Hong Kong temperatures set to drop to 14 degrees Celsius next week as intense monsoon nears

Mercury levels in Hong Kong are expected to drop to 14 degrees Celsius next week as an intense monsoon approaches the city.

The Hong Kong Observatory said on Friday that a fresh to strong easterly airstream would affect the coast of Guangdong in the next couple of days.

But the weather over the weekend will be fine, with occasional patches of rain in the morning and evenings. Temperatures will range from 19 to 23 degrees.

An intense northeast monsoon is expected to reach the coast of southern China from Monday to Tuesday and temperatures are expected to fall progressively.

“There will be a few showers and temperatures will fall appreciably over the region,” the forecaster said.
