Chilly conditions in Hong Kong are expected to carry on into Tuesday, while a cold weather warning has already remained in force for more than 38 hours.
The Observatory recorded temperatures of 14.1 degrees Celsius (57.4 Fahrenheit) at its Tsim Sha Tsui headquarters on Monday morning.
The mercury also dipped to below 12 degrees in rural areas such as Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long and Sheung Shui.
Over at Ngong Ping and Tate’s Cairn, temperatures were only 7.9 degrees and 8.3 degrees, respectively.
The current cold weather warning was issued at 9.45pm on Saturday.

“The northeast monsoon will continue to affect the coast of Guangdong today and tomorrow. The weather will still be cold over the region,” the Observatory said on Monday.
“With the monsoon moderating gradually, temperatures will rise over the coast of Guangdong in the middle and latter parts of this week.
“Meanwhile, a dry easterly airstream will affect the coast of southeastern China. The weather will be generally fine over the region.”
It also forecast a maximum temperature of 16 degrees for Monday, while cautioning that mercury readings would remain low on Tuesday, at between 14 and 19 degrees.
According to the latest nine-day forecast, temperatures will gradually rise to as high as 23 degrees on Wednesday and to 25 degrees during the Ching Ming Festival on Friday.
