HKO records 10.9 degrees, coldest morning this winter

Hong Kong recorded its coldest morning so far this winter on Wednesday, with the temperature dropping to 10.9 degrees Celsius at the Observatory before 5.30am, the Hong Kong Observatory said.

Temperatures were even lower in highland areas. The intense winter monsoon is bringing dry and fine weather to Guangdong's coast.

Under its persistent influence, mornings will remain cold from Wednesday to Friday, with minimum temperatures around 10 to 11 degrees in urban areas and a few degrees lower in the New Territories.

The public is reminded to keep warm and care for the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions. Temperatures are expected to rise slightly over the weekend but remain cool in the morning.
