Temperatures in Hong Kong are expected to soar to 36 degrees Celsius or higher over the weekend due to the effects of Tropical Cyclone Dolphin, according to local forecasters. The Hong Kong Observatory issued a warning to residents to be cautious and take steps to avoid heatstroke, particularly during outdoor activities. Weak winds are anticipated to linger over the city on Friday, with the hot weather expected to continue for several days.
The tropical storm is projected to move across the Ryukyu Islands and the East China Sea before reaching the Zhejiang and northern Fujian regions. The Observatory noted that the intense heat on Friday aligns with a date on the Chinese lunar calendar marking the official start of autumn. Forecasts predict a high of 34 degrees Celsius on Friday, with isolated showers predicted for next Tuesday and a southwesterly wind affecting the Guangdong coast midweek.
