“Under the influence of a relatively dry continental
airstream, the weather will improve over southern China on Sunday. It will be fine
and dry in the following few days with temperatures rising gradually,” the
Observatory said.
The maximum temperature will peak at 28 degrees on Thursday and Friday.

The weekend weather is influenced by the northeast monsoon, it said.
“The Strong Monsoon Signal is now in force. Strong winds
with mean speed exceeding 40 kilometres per hour are expected from the
northeast. Gusts will occasionally reach gale force,” it added in an advisory
at 4:45 this afternoon.

“Flower pots and other objects likely to be blown away
should be taken indoors,” it advised.
“Those planning for water sports activities and operations
at sea should take special care against high winds and rough sea conditions.
Conditions are particularly rough over the offshore waters,” the Observatory
said this afternoon.
