The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a Very Hot Weather Warning, with temperatures expected to soar to 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) on Sunday and Monday. Scorching weather is expected to persist throughout the city, with maximum temperatures ranging from 28 to 33 degrees Celsius. The Very Hot Weather Warning has been in effect since 6:45 am on Sunday, according to the observatory.
In Tai Po, mercury levels reached 34.8 degrees Celsius at noon. The Hong Kong Observatory predicts a low-pressure system will bring squally thunderstorms and unsettled weather by midweek, with winds remaining weak. A broad trough of low pressure will affect the northern part of the South China Sea and gradually move closer to the coast of Guangdong province in the middle and latter parts of the week. As a result, thundery showers triggered by high temperatures are expected to impact the region.
