The winter monsoon is bringing cold weather to the coastal areas of Guangdong. Today, the lowest temperature in the urban area of Hong Kong is about 8 degrees. At about 6 am, the temperature recorded by the Observatory was only 7.7 degrees.
In Tai Mo Shan, the highest in Hong Kong, the temperature once dropped to minus 2.5 degrees, which was the lowest since the beginning of winter.
Under the condition of drizzle, there was slight frost in some places at Tai Mo Shan around 6 am.
From 12:00 midnight to 6:00 am, Tai Mo Shan fell below zero several times, at about 1:20 in the morning, at minus 0.3 degrees Celsius, and at about 2:50 in the morning, at minus 0.8 degrees Celsius.
Then the temperature rose slightly to a positive number, and at about 4:40 in the morning, the temperature fell again to a negative number, to minus 1.9 degrees; at 7 in the morning, it dropped to minus 2.5 degrees.
In addition to issuing cold weather warnings, the Observatory also issued red fire hazard warnings and strong monsoon signals.
However, no frost warning was issued.
"Hong Kong 01" went to the "gate" location of Tai Mo Shan at about 4 a.m. and measured it with a thermometer provided by himself, and it recorded about 1 degree below zero.
The scene was quite windy and drizzle, and the rain did not stop until about 5 in the morning.
However, there was no frosting.
After last year’s New Year’s Eve, Tai Mo Shan fell below zero again.
However, there were no crowds and traffic congestion at the Tai Mo Shan Gate this time. The number of people is considered to be very small, mainly morning commuters who go up the mountain every day and the weather does not change; only a small number of people come here intentionally.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, there was a slight frost on some parts of the Tai Mo Shan vehicle gate, including grass and light posts.
Although Mr. Xu deliberately went to Da Mo Shan, he did not see the frost as he wished.
When asked if he was disappointed, he thought: "I have not been disappointed yet, the temperature will rise first when the sun comes out!" Mr. Cheng, who trades in red wine, said that he would go to Ta Mo Shan for morning transport and watch the sunrise every day to keep warm The equipment is also sufficient.
He said that he did not come to see the frosting situation specially, but he still hopes to see it.
He believes that although the temperature today is low, it feels less freezing than on New Year's Eve, which is probably related to strong winds.
Mr. Chung and several "mountain friends" climbed to Tai Mo Shan to take pictures of the sunrise. Today, they also wear warm gloves and other clothing. "It’s all freezing weather today! It’s so much colder than that of a bleak day! I don’t expect to see it (frosting)! I’m going up and down for a while, because I don’t expect rain and powder to fall suddenly! High humidity may be possible." There is a chance!" He said that New Year's Eve was very dry and there was no frost.
Mr. Yan, who traveled in the mountains for 6 days a week, said that he did not feel particularly cold and had known the weather beforehand, so he wore a heating vest and gloves to keep him warm.
He believes that the humidity today is higher than that of New Year's Day, and the possibility of frost is relatively higher. "I don't know what frost is, and I am used to walking the mountain every day!"
Mr. Wang and his wife took a taxi up the mountain from Tsuen Wan. "I want to go with my wife (seeing the frost), but I don’t see it in the front row. I hope I won’t be disappointed." Mr. Cheng and his friends climbed again after New Year’s Day. I think there is a good chance of seeing frost, "Last time (New Year's Day) too many people went there! I have rarely seen La in recent years! The most important thing is that the humidity is high!"
Mr. Zheng and his friends should have a good chance to see the frost.
Tai Mo Shan has repeatedly recorded negative Celsius temperatures.
