The Hong Kong Observatory said an easterly airstream of unsettled weather was affecting coastal areas of Guangdong province and also Hong Kong.
A mix of showers and pollution had also caused visibility levels to drop to 5,000 metres (16,500 feet) in Victoria Harbour. Depending on the weather system, typical visibility levels would be between 10km and 20km.
Sunday was forecast to be cloudy with showers and a few thunderstorms.
