[UPDATED] Hong Kong man held over international cocaine smuggling syndicate
KUALA LUMPUR: A Hong Kong man has been identified as the mastermind of an international drug trafficking syndicate that recruited financially distressed Malaysians to smuggle cocaine overseas.
Hong Kong is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures as a cold front is set to sweep through the city early next week. The Hong Kong Observatory predicts temperatures could plummet to a low of 18 degrees Celsius (64.4 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday. This comes after a strong monsoon over the weekend, which has brought cooler weather to the region.
The cold front is expected to move across the southern China coast by Monday, with winds strengthening from the north and temperatures dropping noticeably. According to the nine-day forecast, temperatures will range between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius over the weekend before falling sharply to 20 degrees on Monday and 18 degrees on Tuesday.
The minimum temperatures are then expected to gradually rise to around 24 degrees Celsius next weekend. The weather is forecast to be generally fine and dry, with cool mornings and large temperature differences between day and night. Rainy weather is expected to affect southern China next weekend due to upper-air disturbances.
