Today (21st) is the "summer solstice" in the 24 solar terms. The very hot weather warning is now in effect, but about 10 millimetres of rain have been recorded on Hong Kong Island and Tseung Kwan O in the morning.
Before noon, the temperature in some parts of the New Territories had risen to 34 degrees or above, and Ta Kwu Ling even reached 35 degrees.
The Observatory predicts that a trough of low pressure will approach, Hong Kong will usher in heavy showers and thunderstorms in the next few days, and the highest temperature in the urban area will drop to 30 degrees. As the trough moves away, the high-altitude anticyclone covering the northern part of the South China Sea will strengthen slightly and it will begin to clear on weekends. But at the end of this month, we will say goodbye to the sunshine again.
