The cold weather warning is now in effect and Hong Kong has turned cold significantly today.
The observatory expects the temperature to rise to about 16 degrees during the day.
At night, the temperature in the urban area further dropped to a minimum of about 10 degrees, and the temperature in the New Territories was lower by two or three degrees.
Although the cold front hits Hong Kong, there are still elderly people who are not afraid of the low temperature, swimming in the morning on the waterfront of Hung Hom, and behaving at ease.

This morning, the reporter visited the Tai Wan Shan waterfront area in Hung Hom and found that many citizens were "swimming in the morning water".
Mr. Zeng, a retired person, is 73 years old this year. He said that because he lives nearby, he is used to swimming in the morning every day.
Mr. Zeng said that he did not feel cold today, and that he had tried to enter the water at 6 or 7 degrees, "I am not afraid of freezing."
Another bather, Granny Chen, who has been swimming in the morning for many years, also said that she felt that the weather this morning was not cold. She also pointed out that even if the temperature was only 6 or 7 degrees, it would still feel like 15, 16 degrees after entering the water.
According to the Observatory, Hung Hom was only 14 or 15 degrees at that time, but the reporter's thermometer showed it was around 19 degrees.
Although the temperature at the scene was not too low, the wind was quite strong, and the swimmers quickly wiped off their bodies and changed their clothes after they entered the water.
