Hong Kong temperatures to fall to 12 degrees next week as winter monsoon arrives
Forecaster says intense winter monsoon expected to reach southern China next Tuesday, adding temperatures will drop appreciably over region
Temperatures in Hong Kong are expected to sharply dip to as low as 12 degrees Celsius (53.6 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday next week as a cold front moves through the city midweek.
The Hong Kong Observatory said the fine and relatively warm weather on Friday, brought by a dry northeast monsoon, would persist until early next week.
Temperatures will range from 17 to 23 degrees through Monday.
“An intense winter monsoon is expected to reach southern China next Tuesday. Temperatures will fall appreciably over the region and it will be windier afterwards,” the forecaster said.
“It will become cold gradually, with minimum temperatures of around 12 degrees in the middle and latter parts of next week.”
