Hong Kong residents could get a taste of cooler autumn weather next week, with temperatures forecast to fall to around 20°C as a northeast monsoon affects southern China.
The Hong Kong Observatory’s forecast, checked on 4 November, puts the city’s temperature range at 21°C to 26°C on Tuesday 10 November, followed by 20°C to 26°C on Wednesday 11 November. Temperatures are then forecast to rise to between 22°C and 27°C on Thursday. Hong Kong Observatory forecast
The cooler spell follows a warm start to November. The forecast shows temperatures reaching around 30°C on Thursday 5 November before gradually easing over the following days. Conditions can vary between districts, and the forecast may change as the dates approach.
The northeast monsoon is also expected to bring stronger winds. The South China Morning Post reported that offshore areas and high ground could experience strong winds at times on Saturday 7 November.
A few cooler days do not necessarily mean a cool month overall. In its November monthly outlook, issued on 29 October, the Observatory said temperatures were expected to be above normal for the month.
