Affected by the sinking air currents of the super typhoon "Santo", Hong Kong continued to be extremely hot today (12th). With the hot weather warning in effect, the highest temperature in many districts reached 36 degrees, and Sheung Shui once again recorded an ultra-high temperature of 37 degrees.
In addition to the extreme heat, air pollution has also become serious.
The Environmental Protection Department predicts that later in the afternoon, the air quality health index of some monitoring stations may reach a "serious" level, and air pollution will remain at a high level in the next two days.
The Very Hot Weather Warning is now in effect. The weather in many districts of Hong Kong is hot, and Sheung Shui is as high as 37 degrees.

36 degrees in multiple districts, Sheung Shui, "hot explode" across Hong Kong

EPA: Air pollution will remain at a high level before winds increase
The Environmental Protection Department stated that it has continued to record higher than normal air pollution levels since yesterday. It is predicted that later this afternoon, the air quality health index of some general and roadside air monitoring stations may reach "severe" levels, and air pollution will continue in the next two days. Will be at a higher level.
According to the Hong Kong Observatory's forecast, wind conditions along the coast of Guangdong will be mild in the early to middle of this week. The Environmental Protection Department expects that air pollution in Hong Kong will remain at a relatively high level before the wind becomes stronger.
The Environmental Protection Department explained that due to the sinking air currents of tropical cyclone Chanthu, Hong Kong’s weather is extremely hot, and the moderate westerly winds brought a stream of high regional background ozone and particle pollution levels, which is not conducive to the spread of air pollutants.
Sunlight during the day is conducive to the phenomenon of photochemical smog, causing ozone and fine suspended particles to form rapidly in the Pearl River Delta region, and higher ozone levels will also accelerate the formation of nitrogen dioxide.

Showers for nine consecutive days
In addition, the Observatory also predicts that tomorrow will continue to be very hot, and there will be showers for nine consecutive days. It is expected that the coastal areas of Guangdong will have weak winds, hot weather and a few showers in the next few days. There will be more showers in the area in the middle and late part of the week.
The tropical cyclone "Conson" will move to central Vietnam and weaken today and tomorrow, while the tropical cyclone "Santu" will cross the East China Sea today and tomorrow, and then linger around Shanghai for two or three days.
Double typhoon | Sundo sinking airflow is expected to reach 35 degrees and 38 degrees in the first area. There will be showers on 9.20. Double typhoon | Sheung Shui thermal blasting record of 38.1 degrees Sundo heat wave hits urban area at weekend to reach 35 degrees double typhoon | Conson Moving away, Chandu turns sharply, and the Observatory expects a double typhoon to hit 37 degrees in one area over the weekend. | The original forecast is moving closer to Hong Kong.
