After the typhoon, Hong Kong ushered in sunny weather. Tomorrow (22nd, Saturday) is the "heat" in the 24 solar terms. It means that the summer heat is fading away and autumn is approaching. However, dominated by high-altitude anticyclones, the Observatory expects the weekend to be extremely hot, with the highest temperature in the city reaching 33 degrees Celsius. The Observatory predicts that there will be more showers and thunderstorms in the middle and late next week, and there will be squally thunderstorms next Thursday and Friday (27th and 28th), which will cool Hong Kong slightly.

In addition, the current low pressure area in the Luzon Strait will gradually develop in the next few days, but instead of moving closer to Hong Kong, it is expected to cross the waters east of Taiwan and move roughly toward the East China Sea. According to forecasts in Europe and the United States, the low pressure area has a chance to gradually increase and escalate to typhoon level when it approaches South Korea.

Tomorrow's "Heat Heat" is up to 33 degrees

The very hot weather warning is now in effect. At noon, the temperature in some areas has risen to over 33 degrees. The Observatory said that it was generally fine today and it was very hot during the day, but there were showers in some areas.

Dominated by high-altitude anticyclones, southeastern China is generally sunny and hot during the weekend. The Observatory predicts that there will be sunshine tomorrow in the "heat" and next Sunday, and it will be very hot during the day. The highest temperature in the urban area will reach 33 degrees, but there will be showers in some areas.

A southwesterly airstream will affect the south China coast next week and will gradually become more active in the middle and late next week. There will be more showers and thunderstorms along the coast of Guangdong. Looking back at Hong Kong, the Observatory expects that the sun will not start next Tuesday, and the weather will gradually deteriorate. Thursday and Friday will usher in cloudy weather with showers and squally thunderstorms. By then, the highest temperature in the urban area may drop to 30 degrees, cloudy and cloudy. The showery weather is expected to last until the end of the month.

Low-pressure areas are expected to go north to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea will not affect Hong Kong

In addition, after bidding farewell to the typhoon "Hygoss", the Observatory predicted that the low pressure area currently located in the Luzon Strait will gradually develop in the next few days, crossing the waters east of Taiwan and generally moving towards the East China Sea. With reference to the European and American forecast systems, it is predicted that the low pressure area will have little impact on Hong Kong. Tomorrow will be the closest to Taiwan, but there will be slight differences in subsequent forecasts. The European Center for Medium-Term Weather Forecast (ECMWF) predicts that after passing Okinawa, Japan, the low-pressure area will go straight to Jeju City and Seoul, South Korea. Next Thursday (27th), the sea level center pressure will be about 966hPa, reaching the level of a typhoon. The US Global Forecast System (GFS) predicts that the low pressure area will be the closest to Okinawa, Japan, and may reach tropical storm intensity next Sunday, and then the closest to Jeju City, South Korea on Thursday night, and it is also predicted to be upgraded to typhoon level.

However, most of the earlier computer models could not capture the rapid increase and actual intensity of "Hygoss" until the "Hygoss" intensified into a typhoon in Hong Kong, but the models still predicted that it was only a relatively weak low-pressure system. The model cannot be trusted.
