Hong Kong is preparing for a tumultuous week as it faces escalating temperatures and the looming threat of thunderstorms. The city's residents are advised to stay alert as meteorologists predict significant weather changes in the coming days.

Currently, southern China, including Hong Kong, is in the grip of a scorching heatwave caused by a persistent southerly airstream. Noon temperatures have been peaking around 30 degrees Celsius, making it an extremely hot period. However, parts of eastern Guangdong have been fortunate to experience more favorable weather conditions due to an anticyclone aloft, resulting in clear skies.



The weather forecast for Hong Kong today indicates a mix of conditions. Residents can expect hot weather with intervals of sunshine during the afternoon, followed by mostly cloudy skies in the evening. Winds are anticipated to be light to moderate, originating from the south.


Unfortunately, relief from the heatwave is not expected in the next few days as daytime temperatures are likely to remain high. While intermittent showers may provide temporary respite, they are unlikely to significantly alter the overall climate.


The most significant weather changes are expected on Sunday and into the early part of the following week. A trough of low pressure is forecast to move into southern China, including Hong Kong, resulting in a dramatic shift in weather patterns. This system will bring about unsettled weather conditions, characterized by increased showers and the potential for thunderstorms.


When a trough of low pressure moves into a region, it typically introduces more volatile and unpredictable weather conditions. Hong Kong can anticipate a transition from the current stable and hot weather to a more dynamic scenario, which may cause disruptions throughout the city.


It is crucial for residents to stay informed about the evolving weather situation and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.


香港進入一個動盪的一週,氣溫上升和即將到來的雷暴威脅


香港正面臨著氣溫不斷升高和雷暴威脅的挑戰性一週。氣象學家預測接下來的幾天將有顯著的天氣變化,建議市民保持警覺。


目前,包括香港在內的中國南方地區正經歷著持續的南風影響而出現了一波熱浪。正午氣溫高達攝氏30度左右,天氣炎熱。然而,廣東東部地區由於高空反氣旋的影響,天氣較為良好,天空晴朗。


今天香港的天氣預報顯示多變的天氣狀況。市民可以預期下午天氣炎熱,有陽光間歇,到了晚上則多雲。風力預計輕至中風,來自南方。


不幸的是,在接下來的幾天內,熱浪將不會減緩,白天氣溫預計仍然偏高。雖然可能會出現間歇性的陣雨,暫時緩解炎熱,但不太可能對整體氣候產生顯著影響。


最重要的天氣變化預計將於星期日及下週初出現。一股低壓槽預計會影響中國南方,包括香港,導致天氣格局劇變。這一系統將帶來不穩定的天氣條件,包括增加的陣雨和可能出現的雷暴。


當低壓槽移入一個地區時,通常會引起更加不穩定和難以預測的天氣狀況。香港將從目前相對穩定和炎熱的天氣轉變為更加動盪的情景,可能對整個城市造成干擾。


市民需要及時了解不斷變化的天氣情況,並採取必要的預防措施以確保自身安全。
