Severe Thunderstorm Warning in Effect!

April 28, 2025 – Brace yourselves, Hong Kong! The Hong Kong Observatory has just issued a Thunderstorm Warning as thundery showers are rapidly approaching from the Pearl River Estuary. The warning was activated at 7:05 AM, and it's set to last until 9 AM. Residents should stay alert for isolated thunderstorms, particularly over Lantau and the New Territories West.

What’s Causing the Chaos?

The region's unpredictable weather is due to a low-pressure trough, which is stirring up showers and thunderstorms in the area. This comes alongside extensive cloud cover that blankets southern China.

What to Expect Today?

Today’s forecast predicts a mainly cloudy day filled with intermittent showers and localized thunderstorms. Prepare for some coastal fog early in the morning, with temperatures soaring to around 27 degrees Celsius under light winds.

Looking Ahead: A Mixed Bag of Weather!

While today might be stormy, don't pack away your sun hats just yet! Over the next few days, expect sunny intervals coupled with daytime heat and occasional showers. However, a dry easterly airstream is set to sweep across southern China's coast in the coming days, promising an improvement in weather conditions.

As the easterly winds ease later this week, temperatures are expected to rise, bringing along sporadic showers to the Guangdong coast. Stay tuned for updates and keep those umbrellas handy!
