Temperatures to drop to 13 degrees on Sunday as cold front sweeps Hong Kong
Cold front expected to move across southern China over weekend, bringing stronger winds and cooler weather
Temperatures in Hong Kong are expected to drop on Sunday as a cold front sweeps across the south of the country, ending several days of warm and humid weather.
The Hong Kong Observatory said on Thursday minimum temperatures could fall to around 13 degrees Celsius (55.4 Fahrenheit) on Sunday, with daytime highs of about 19 degrees.
The cooler weather will follow a relatively warm and humid end to the week, as weak coastal winds over Guangdong province keep temperatures mild and humidity levels high, especially in the mornings and at night.
Maximum temperatures on Friday are forecast to reach about 24 degrees in urban areas and a few degrees higher in the New Territories.
Coastal mist is expected in the mornings and at night on Friday and Saturday, with generally fine and warm weather during the day.
Winds will remain light at first but are forecast to strengthen over the weekend as a cold air mass moves south.
