March 6, 2025 – A cold front has gripped Hong Kong, as temperatures drop to an unexpected low of 12 degrees Celsius in several areas. The Hong Kong Observatory reported this morning at 8:57 AM that the northeast monsoon is significantly affecting the southern coast of China, with a thick band of clouds bringing sporadic rain patches to the Guangdong region.

Urban centers in Hong Kong are experiencing a substantial chill, with conditions notably cooler than yesterday, plummeting around six degrees. As the day progresses, the forecast predicts overcast skies and intermittent rain showers, with daytime highs reaching only about 15 degrees. Tonight and into tomorrow morning, residents should prepare for an even steeper drop in temperatures.

Looking ahead, expect more rain patches tomorrow, with urban areas staying around 13 degrees, while the New Territories remain particularly cold. However, relief is on the horizon; a gradual warming trend is anticipated this weekend through early next week, promising clearer skies and more pleasant weather.

The northeast monsoon is set to linger over Guangdong, contributing to the cold snap. But as it shifts to an easterly airstream, the cloud coverage affecting Guangdong will begin to disperse, paving the way for brighter and warmer conditions by the start of next week.

By midweek, forecasters are warning of another shift, as a maritime airstream may bring humid and foggy weather back to coastal areas. It's a rollercoaster ride for weather in Hong Kong, and residents are encouraged to stay aware of these changes, dress warmly, and look after vulnerable individuals like the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.

Stay tuned as we keep you updated on the unpredictable weather, and be sure to take necessary precautions during this chilly spell! Don't let the rain catch you unprepared!
