Severe Weather Alert Issued for Hong Kong This Weekend

According to a special weather advisory issued by the Hong Kong Observatory on May 29, 2024, Hong Kong is expected to experience heavy showers and squally thunderstorms on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st.

The unsettled weather is being caused by a broad trough of low pressure situated over the central part of the South China Sea. This low-pressure trough is predicted to gradually approach the southern coast of China over the next one to two days.


In addition to the approaching low-pressure system, a strong easterly airstream is currently affecting the coast of Guangdong. The broad trough of low pressure is also bringing showers and thunderstorms to the central part of the South China Sea.


Typhoon Ewiniar has weakened into a severe tropical storm and is expected to maintain its northeast trajectory across the seas south of Japan.


Looking ahead, the region should expect further unsettled weather through the latter part of this week and into early next week, with bouts of showers and squally thunderstorms. Another easterly airstream is also anticipated to affect the coast of Guangdong in the early to mid-week of the following week.


The Hong Kong Observatory is closely monitoring the development of the potential low-pressure area within the trough and urges the public to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions during the impending stormy weather conditions.



香港天文台警告周五及周六將有暴風雨天氣


根據香港天文台於2024年5月29日發出的特別天氣報告,香港預計在5月31日(星期五)和6月1日(星期六)會出現大雨和狂風暴雨。


這不穩定的天氣是由位於南中國海中部的一個寬廣的低壓槽所造成的。這個低壓槽預計在未來一至兩天逐漸靠近中國南部沿海地區。


除了這個逼近的低壓系統,一股強勁的東風氣流現正影響著廣東沿海。這個寬廣的低壓槽亦為南中國海中部帶來陣雨和雷暴。


颱風Ewiniar已減弱為一個強熱帶風暴,預計會沿著日本南部海域向東北方向移動。


展望未來,這個地區預料在本週末和下週初會繼續出現不穩定的天氣,伴有陣雨和狂風暴雨。下週初至中旬,另一股東風氣流亦預計會影響廣東沿海。


香港天文台正密切監察這個低壓槽中可能形成的低壓區,並呼籲公眾保持關注最新的天氣預報。居民被建議在即將到來的暴風雨天氣期間採取必要的預防措施。
