Hong Kong Prepares for Coldest March in Six Years, Urban Areas to Reach Minimum Temperature of 10°C

Hong Kong is bracing itself for an unusually cold March as temperatures are set to plummet to record lows not seen in six years. The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a forecast for a particularly cold morning tomorrow, with a significant drop in temperatures expected in the New Territories.

As the city welcomes the arrival of spring, residents are preparing for a spell of frigid weather. The Observatory has reported a chilly 14.1 degrees Celsius at its headquarters in the morning, marking an 8-degree decrease compared to the previous day. The cold snap is expected to persist, with urban areas experiencing a minimum temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius. In some regions of the New Territories, like Ta Kwu Ling, temperatures are predicted to drop as low as 8 degrees.

Tonight and tomorrow morning, the weather forecast predicts mainly cloudy and cold conditions, with the possibility of a few rain patches. Higher elevations should anticipate even lower temperatures. The expected high for tomorrow is unlikely to exceed 15 degrees Celsius. The Observatory advises that northerly winds, initially moderate to fresh in strength, may strengthen offshore before shifting to east to northeasterly winds by tomorrow night.

Although Sunday morning will continue to be cool, there is a gradual improvement in the outlook as temperatures are expected to rise over the following days. The weather pattern will bring an increase in relative humidity, leading to warmer conditions during the day.

The coastal areas of southern China, including Hong Kong, will remain under the influence of the northeast monsoon and an extensive cloud and rain band, resulting in cooler temperatures and sporadic rain. However, by Monday and Tuesday, the monsoon is expected to be replaced by a more humid southerly airstream, bringing mist over the Guangdong coast and warmer daytime temperatures.

It is worth noting that this respite may be short-lived, as another influx of the northeast monsoon is anticipated by mid to late next week, potentially causing a slight dip in regional temperatures once again.

Despite the chilly conditions, Hong Kong residents are preparing themselves for the coldest March in six years, taking necessary measures to stay warm and safe during this unusual weather event.

香港迎接六年來最寒冷的三月，市區最低氣溫明天將降至攝氏10度

香港正為一個不尋常寒冷的三月做好準備，氣溫預計將降至六年來的最低點。香港天文台預測明天早上將特別寒冷，新界地區預計氣溫會大幅下降。

隨著城市迎來春天，居民們正在準備迎接一段寒冷的天氣。天文台報告稱，早上在總部地區的氣溫為14.1攝氏度，較前一天下降了8度。寒流預計將持續，市區預計最低氣溫約為攝氏10度。在新界的一些地區，如打鼓嶺，氣溫預計會降至8度左右。

今晚和明天早上的天氣預報顯示主要多雲和寒冷，可能會有一兩處雨點。位於較高海拔的地區應預期氣溫更低。明天的最高氣溫不太可能超過攝氏15度。天文台建議，初時北風會由中度至清勁，可能在離岸處加強，然後在明天晚上轉為東至東北風。

雖然星期日早上仍然會感到涼爽，但隨著日子過去，氣溫預計會逐漸上升。天氣模式會帶來相對濕度增加，白天氣溫變得較暖和。

包括香港在內的中國南部沿海地區將繼續受到東北季風和大範圍的雲層和雨帶的影響，氣溫較低，雨水零星出現。然而，到了星期一和星期二，季風預計會被更潮濕的南風取代，帶來廣東沿海地區的霧氣和較高的白天氣溫。

值得注意的是，這種緩解可能只是暫時的，預計下周中至下周末將再次迎來東北季風的侵襲，可能會導致地區氣溫稍微下降。

儘管天氣寒冷，香港居民正為六年來最寒冷的三月做好準備，採取必要措施在這種不尋常的天氣事件中保持溫暖和安全。
