Incoming Southwest Monsoon to Bring Heavy Rain to Hong Kong for Eight Days

Hong Kong, May 18, 2024 - The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a weather warning, anticipating the arrival of the Southwest Monsoon in the South China Sea. This weather system is expected to bring heavy rainfall to Hong Kong over the next eight consecutive days.

According to the latest forecast, rain is predicted to begin on Sunday, May 19th, and continue through the following week. The heaviest downpours are expected on Monday, with cloudy skies, sudden showers, and thunderstorms. At times, the rainfall is expected to be quite heavy.


The cause of this extended rainy period is an easterly airstream affecting the Guangdong coast, coupled with a broad trough of low pressure moving towards the coast of Guangdong and the northern part of the South China Sea. This combination is expected to result in ongoing showers throughout the middle and later parts of next week.


Today, the weather in Hong Kong will be mainly cloudy with a few showers, and a maximum temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius. Moderate easterly winds are also forecasted.


However, the situation is expected to worsen in the coming days, with squally thunderstorms expected on Sunday, and heavy showers likely to occur on Monday. The rainy conditions are expected to persist through the middle and later parts of next week.


Residents are advised to stay tuned to the latest weather updates from the Hong Kong Observatory and take necessary precautions before venturing out.


西南季候風入侵 香港連續8天有大雨


2024年5月18日,香港 - 香港天文台發出天氣警告,預計西南季候風將會在南中國海登場。這個天氣系統預計會在未來8天為香港帶來大量降雨。


根據最新預報,雨勢會在5月19日(星期日)開始,並持續到下星期。最大降雨量預計會在星期一出現,當時天氣會多雲,並出現突如其來的陣雨和雷暴。雨勢有時會很大。


這個持續的降雨期是由於廣東沿岸受到東風氣流的影響,加上一個寬廣的低氣壓槽正向廣東沿岸和南中國海北部移動。這個組合預計會導致下星期中後期持續降雨。


今天,香港的天氣多雲有時有陣雨,最高氣溫約攝氏28度。東風moderately強勁。
