There were thunderstorms in some areas, with temperatures ranging from 26 to 31 degrees.
The tropical cyclone moving into the South China Sea is expected to be closest to Hong Kong on Saturday
At present, there are also two tropical depressions located in the waters east of the Philippines and the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The Observatory said that at 12 noon, the tropical depressions in the waters east of the Philippines gathered about 790 kilometers east-southeast of Mani. It is expected to move to the northwest at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour. The Observatory predicts that the tropical cyclone will enter the South China Sea in the middle and late part of this week and will move roughly towards the coast of Guangdong to Hainan Island.
According to ECMWF, the tropical depression will be the closest to Hong Kong on Saturday morning.
The other moves north-northwest to the Ryukyu Islands
Another tropical depression in the Northwest Pacific gathers about 460 kilometers north of Yap Island. It is expected to move north-northwest at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour, roughly moving toward the Ryukyu Islands.
According to ECMWG and U.S. Global Forecast System (GFS) predictions, the tropical depression is moving towards Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, and may not be close to Hong Kong.
Due to the proximity of two tropical cyclones, the Observatory expects more showers and stronger winds during the weekend. It is expected that the weather will deteriorate from the weekend to early next week, with showers and a few squally thunderstorms.
