The BRRRR days are here again in Hong
Kong , with temperatures expected to plunge this weekend, and will
remain low until the rest of the week.
The forecast is for a low of 12 to 13 degrees starting
tomorrow, Saturday. Sunday will be even cooler, with temperatures in the range
of 13 to 16 degrees. On Monday, the mercury will dip even more, to between 12
and 16 degrees.
Rainy weather over the past several days have contributed to
the onset of the cold weather.
“The northeast monsoon associated with the cold front is
bringing appreciably cooler and rainy weather to Guangdong ,” said the HK Observatory.
At noon today, the temperatures around most parts of the
territory were reportedly four degrees lower that yesterday.
The Observatory said the day will remain cloudy with a few
rain patches, but will become “significantly” cooler by tomorrow, until the
middle of next week.
Temperatures will rise again by the weekend of Dec 15 and
16, hitting a maximum of 21 degrees on Saturday, and 23 on Sunday.
But for now, it’s time to bring out those thick jackets
again.
