Hong Kong has been humid and warm recently, but it has turned cold again, and the Observatory expects that the cold front will "kill".
The Observatory predicts that a cold front will traverse the coastal areas of Guangdong tomorrow morning (23rd), and the area will be significantly cooler. There will be heavy showers and thunderstorms at first, followed by strong winds and occasional showers for a day or two.
The Observatory predicts that the minimum temperature in the urban area will drop to 16 degrees Celsius tomorrow, and it may even reach 14 degrees in Ta Kwu Ling.
The Observatory also expects that the southerly airstream will bring wet and foggy weather to the coast of Guangdong over the weekend, followed by showers and thunderstorms for many days.
Another cold front will arrive on the coast of South China early next week and bring unstable weather again. It is expected that there will be a short period of sunshine until next Wednesday (30th).

Front desk chief Lin Chaoying: Be careful, it may be the first heavy rain this year
The Observatory explained that before the arrival of the cold front, warm and humid southerly winds will blow along the coast of Guangdong, and sufficient water vapor and energy will make the atmosphere unstable.
When the cold front arrives, it will have the opportunity to trigger convection. If other favorable conditions such as high-altitude disturbances are encountered, the convection will further develop into thunderstorms, and the rain will be more frequent.
Former Observatory Director Lin Chaoying reminded that the cold front brought showers, "Be careful, it may be the first heavy rain this year. It is best to check the drains and remove obstructions in places with risk of flooding."
