On November 22, 2024, the Hong Kong Observatory announced that it had confirmed the occurrence of a locally felt tremor. Residents across the region reported minor shaking, prompting the investigation.

Preliminary analysis indicated that a magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck Taiwan at 8:40 PM, with its epicenter located approximately 32 kilometers south-southwest of Jiayi, at coordinates 23.21N, 120.23E. The earthquake was recorded at a depth of around 15 kilometers, making it notable but not severely damaging.
The Observatory received over ten reports from locals who felt the tremor, which lasted only a few seconds. The intensity was classified as II (two) on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, indicating that it was perceptible to people, especially those on upper floors or in well-placed areas.
Currently, the region is experiencing a northeast monsoon, which is expected to transition to an easterly airstream in the coming days. The weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow predicts mainly cloudy conditions with a chance of light rain in the morning and evening. Daytime temperatures are expected to range between 19 and 23 degrees Celsius, accompanied by moderate to fresh winds from the east to northeast.
In the coming days, winds are anticipated to strengthen from the east, shifting to strong northerlies by Monday night into Tuesday. A gradual drop in temperatures is likely, with lows projected to reach around 14 to 15 degrees Celsius by midweek. The weather is expected to clear up, though there will be noticeable temperature variations between day and night.
香港天文台確認本地地震震感
2024年11月22日,香港天文台宣布確認發生了本地震感。多名居民報告感受到輕微的震動,促使進行調查。
初步分析顯示,今天晚上8:40,台灣發生了4.7級的地震,震中位於嘉義市南南西約32公里,坐標為23.21N, 120.23E。地震的深度約為15公里,雖然震動明顯,但並未造成嚴重損壞。
天文台接獲超過十宗報告,當地居民感受到震動,持續時間僅幾秒鐘。根據修訂的麥卡利震中強度標準,震感被評定為 II(2級),這意味著對於休息中的人來說,震感是可察覺的,特別是在高層或位置良好的地方。
目前,該地區受到東北季候風的影響,預計在未來幾天會轉變為東風。今晚和明天的天氣預測顯示主要是多雲,有可能在早上和晚上出現輕微降雨。白天氣溫預計在19至23攝氏度之間,伴隨著來自東北的中等至清新風。
在接下來的幾天,預計風勢會從東方增強,並在週一晚上至週二轉為強勁的北風。氣溫將逐漸下降,預計到週中時,最低氣溫將降至約14至15攝氏度。天氣有望轉為晴朗,但日夜之間的溫差將會明顯。
