The Hong Kong Observatory reports that the northeast monsoon is affecting southern China, with a band of clouds covering the western coast of Guangdong. Today’s weather forecast for Hong Kong is expected to be sunny for a short period, with one or two light rains in the morning and evening. The maximum temperature during the day is about 29 degrees, with moderate winds from east to northeast and refreshing offshore winds at times.

The Observatory predicts increasingly fine and dry weather in the next day or two, with slightly cooler mornings later in the week. A northeast monsoon will continue to affect southern China, and a cloud band will cover the coastal areas. A dry monsoon supplement is expected to arrive along the South China coast in the middle of this week, bringing strong winds to the area.

Tropical Cyclone Ginkgo Intensifies into a Tropical Storm

The Observatory reports that the tropical depression located in the northwest Pacific east of the Philippines has intensified into a tropical storm and was named “Ginkgo”. It is expected to gradually intensify in the next few days and move to the east of the Luzon Strait. According to the predicted movement path map of the Observatory, Ginkgo will enter Hong Kong’s 800-kilometer warning range before 2 a.m. on Saturday and will have been upgraded to a typhoon by then.

As of 8 a.m., Ginkgo was concentrated about 1,380 kilometers east-southeast of Manila and was expected to move northwest at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour to the east of the Luzon Strait. The Observatory notes that there are variables in the subsequent path and development of Ginkgo.
