HK hit by sudden 9 degrees temperature dip amid cold front

Hongkongers will experience a sharp drop in temperature on Thursday, as the mercury is set to plunge by 9 degrees overnight, reaching a low of 19 degrees Celsius.

The sudden chill was brought by a cold front sweeping across the coast of Guangdong, reinforced by a strong northeast monsoon. The Observatory noted that urban areas would see temperatures fall to about 21 degrees Celsius by midnight, with parts of the New Territories experiencing even lower readings. The minimum temperature of 19 degrees represents a stark 9-degree drop from Wednesday’s peak of 28 degrees.

According to the 9-day weather forecast, temperatures are expected to range between 19 and 25 degrees on Thursday, before rising gradually. The minimum temperature will edge up to 22 degrees on Friday, with a further warming trend set to bring daytime highs of up to 29 degrees over the weekend.
