The observatory looks forward to New Year's Day and Saturday the weather is still cold, fine and very dry.
There will be more clouds at the beginning of next week, and the morning temperature will still be low.
The Observatory also reminded the public to keep warm; and because of the high winds, the wind chill effect is obvious. The temperature felt by the body is lower than the actual temperature, and it is also necessary to avoid prolonged exposure to the cold wind.
The Observatory expects that the temperature will remain low in the morning in the next few days, and another winter monsoon will reach the coast of Guangdong in the middle of next week.
