The Hong Kong Observatory expects warmer and more humid weather next week before expected temperatures reach 14 degrees Celsius.
“Under the influence of a sea air current, the weather will be humid and foggy in coastal areas of Guangdong in the next few days,” the Meteorological Administration said on Sunday. “It's going to be fairly warm during the day.”
Starting Monday, the relative humidity is expected to range from 70 percent to 100 percent. A reading of 85 percent or more is defined as “wet” by the observatory.
Temperatures are expected to reach a peak of about 26 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday. There will be sunny spells throughout the week, but the weather will be mostly foggy, with a chance of rain.
Humidity levels are expected to reach 100 per cent on Friday, with the temperature falling to 21 degrees, before gradually falling further the following week, with a minimum of 14 degrees expected on February 27.
