Hong Kong could see temperatures fall below 20°C again next week, with the Observatory forecasting a significant drop after another cold front reaches Guangdong.
In its nine-day forecast issued at 11:30am on Wednesday, the Hong Kong Observatory said the cold front was expected to reach the province in the middle to latter part of next week. The associated northeast monsoon is expected to strengthen northerly winds and bring temperatures down across the region.
For Hong Kong, the Observatory forecast temperatures of 19–24°C on Thursday 19 November, with sunny intervals and dry conditions during the day. The same temperature range was forecast for Friday 20 November.
Before the cooler weather arrives, temperatures are expected to rise as the current northeast monsoon eases. Thursday 12 November is forecast to reach 27°C, followed by several days with highs of 27–28°C.
The Observatory also expects showers to develop later on Friday 13 November and continue at first on Saturday. Some areas could see heavier showers and thunderstorms early on Saturday before the rain eases.
Early next week is expected to be relatively humid, with lower visibility in some places. By Wednesday 18 November, the forecast temperature range is 21–26°C.
Local conditions can vary. Dimsum Daily reported that an automatic district forecast had shown a low of 15°C in Ta Kwu Ling on 19 November. That was a district-specific forecast, not the Observatory’s citywide nine-day figure, and forecasts this far ahead can change.
Residents planning outdoor activities should check the latest Observatory forecast closer to the date.
