Sat Sep 14 10:16:00 UTC 2024: ## Thunderstorms May Douse Mid-Autumn Moon-Gazing Hopes, Typhoon Possible Next Week
Hong Kong residents hoping for clear skies to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival moon on Tuesday evening may be disappointed, as isolated thunderstorms are predicted. The Hong Kong Observatory warns that showers on Saturday brought over 20mm of rainfall to parts of the city and that upper-air disturbances will continue to affect the Guangdong coast.
While a northeast monsoon is expected to bring hot and sunny weather later next week, a potential tropical cyclone could disrupt these conditions. The Observatory’s nine-day forecast indicates that a broad trough of low pressure near Luzon in the Philippines could develop into an area of low pressure. However, its subsequent movement remains uncertain.
The possibility of a typhoon entering the South China Sea next week adds further complexity to the weather outlook. Hongkongers are advised to stay informed about the latest forecasts and prepare for potential weather disruptions.
