The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a forecast predicting rain in the city for the next 10 days, with the possibility of thunderstorms coinciding with the upcoming Easter weekend. According to the weather authority, the current Easterly airstream affecting the coast of Guangdong will gradually be replaced by a Southerly airstream. This, combined with a band of thundery showers over the northern part of southern China, will contribute to the rainy conditions.
In addition to upper-air disturbances, southern China can expect heavy showers and squally thunderstorms throughout the weekend and into early next week. However, the Observatory predicts that the weather will improve in the coastal areas of Guangdong by midweek next week as the upper-air disturbances diminish.
According to the nine-day weather forecast provided by the Observatory, Saturday will be mainly cloudy with a few showers, which will become more frequent later in the day along with isolated squally thunderstorms. Sunday will also be cloudy with showers and a few squally thunderstorms. Starting from Tuesday, the weather conditions will gradually improve with one or two showers throughout the day and sunny intervals. The temperature is expected to reach up to 30 degrees Celsius.
The Observatory has also issued a warning about unstable weather in the Greater Bay Area, urging holiday travelers to prepare for adverse weather conditions. The mainland's National Meteorological Center has forecasted an accumulated rainfall of 120 to 150 millimeters over the next 10 days until April 6 in central and northern parts of southern China. This represents 40 to 70 percent more rainfall than the normal average for the same period, and in some areas, it could be more than double the average amount.
The ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System has also indicated a higher chance of lightning in the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary on Saturday and Sunday, suggesting active convective weather in the region. Travelers planning to head north are advised to pay special attention to their travel plans and be prepared for possible sudden adverse weather.
As Hong Kong prepares for a rainy week ahead, it is important for residents and visitors to stay informed about the weather conditions and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
香港未來10天有雨，天文台預報
香港天文台預測未來10天將有雨，並且可能在即將到來的復活節周末出現雷雨。根據氣象部門的資料，目前影響廣東沿岸的東風氣流將逐漸被南風氣流取代。加上一股帶有雷陣雨的條帶影響南中國北部地區。這些因素將導致降雨天氣。
除了上層氣體干擾外，南中國地區整個周末和下周初都將出現大雨和狂風雷暴。然而，天文台表示，隨著上層氣體干擾稍稍減少，下周中旬廣東沿岸地區的天氣將有所改善。
根據天文台提供的九天天氣預報，周六將以多雲為主，有幾場陣雨，並在稍後時間出現孤立的狂風雷暴。周日天氣多雲，有陣雨和幾場狂風雷暴。從周二開始，天氣狀況將逐漸改善，全天會有一兩場陣雨，並有間歇的陽光。預計溫度將升至攝氏30度。
天文台還警告大灣區的天氣不穩定，提醒節假日旅客要做好應對惡劣天氣的準備。中國內地的國家氣象中心預報，中南部地區在未來10天直到4月6日將出現累計120至150毫米的降雨量。這比同期正常降雨量多40至70％，在某些地區可能是平均降雨量的兩倍以上。
歐洲中期天氣預報系統（ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System）還預測，周六和周日珠江口附近有更高的雷電機率，表明該地區存在活躍的對流天氣。建議計劃前往北方的旅客特別留意旅行計劃，並做好應對可能突然惡劣天氣的準備。
香港即將迎來一個多雨的週，居民和遊客應及時獲取天氣信息，並采取必要的預防措施，確保自身安全和健康。
