Plummeting Temperatures and Incoming Showers in Hong Kong

June 4, 2025 – Hong Kong is currently experiencing a notable weather shift as a fresh easterly airstream sweeps over Guangdong, resulting in temperatures dipping by three to five degrees compared to yesterday. By 2 PM, the mercury in urban areas landed at a cool 26.6°C.

What to Expect Today and Tomorrow

Residents can look forward to cloudy skies this afternoon, with a few showers likely to roll in, as moderate to fresh easterly winds dominate the atmosphere. However, the forecast suggests a continuation of this wet weather into tomorrow morning, with brief bouts of rain likely before conditions begin to improve.

A Glimpse of Hotter Days Ahead

As the week progresses, expect a resurgence of heat, particularly by early next week when sweltering daytime temperatures are anticipated. Although the easterly airstream will linger along the Guangdong coast, an upper-air disturbance will keep showers in play over the northern South China Sea and southern coastal regions of China.

Looking Further Ahead: Unsettled Weather Patterns?

Heading into midweek, a wide trough of low pressure threatens to stir up unsettled weather patterns across the central South China Sea, potentially impacting nearby regions like Luzon. There's speculation of a developing low pressure area in the South China Sea or to the east of the Philippines, but the exact trajectory and intensity of this system remain uncertain.

Stay Prepared!

With changing weather patterns on the horizon, Hong Kong residents are encouraged to stay informed and prepared for any sudden shifts in weather conditions. Keep those umbrellas handy!
