As a broad trough of low pressure will affect the central and northern parts of the South China Sea next week, and bring unstable weather to the south China coast in the latter part of the next week, the Observatory predicts that there will be many rainy days next week, and the sun will not be the next day, and cloudy and rainy weather will be ushered in.
The Observatory said earlier that there will be a total lunar eclipse in Hong Kong on May 26, and the "Super Full Moon" will be added at the same scene. The diameter of the moon will be about 7% larger than the usual full moon.
As sunlight passes through the earth’s atmosphere, only red light is left to be refracted to the surface of the moon, and the moon will appear red, so some people also call a total lunar eclipse a "blood moon."
The Observatory expects that there will be sunshine for a short period of time and a few showers on that day, which may hinder moon viewing.
