The weather forecast for Hong Kong today, February 25, shows conditions heavily influenced by the northeast monsoon, according to the Hong Kong Observatory. At 8 am, the recorded temperature was 15°C with a relative humidity of 72%. A vast cloud band is covering the area, including the northern South China Sea.
Residents can expect mostly cloudy weather with some moments of sunshine and cool air during the morning hours. The maximum temperature is anticipated to reach around 18°C later today, with showers expected as the day progresses. Winds are moderate to fresh, originating from the east to northeast, with occasional strong gusts particularly offshore and over elevated areas.
Looking forward to tomorrow, February 26, it is forecasted to be another day marked by occasional rain and cool temperatures, especially in the morning. The Observatory has indicated expectations of gradually warming temperatures later this week, bringing relief from the cooler conditions currently being experienced.
With this shift, the weekend is expected to bring more humidity and fog, contributing to warmer daytime temperatures. The long-range outlook suggests the northeast monsoon will continue to impact the coastal Guangdong area, making for cool mornings. At the same time, high-altitude disturbances will likely bring about sporadic rain, as the region adjusts to changing weather conditions.
"Today’s maximum temperature is expected to be around 18°C, with some rain later,” stated the Hong Kong Observatory. They also noted, "The northeast monsoon will affect the coastal Guangdong region with cooler mornings."
Overall, the weather this week features fluctuated temperatures as trends indicate developers are expecting the warm conditions to return after periods of cooler weather. Travelers and locals alike might want to prepare for occasional rain, particularly as the weekend draws near.
The weekend is expected to be humid, with mist expected alongside warmer temperatures during the day. "The weekend will be humid with mist and warm temperatures during the day,” the Observatory added. Notably, the long-range forecast indicates possible fluctuations as another northeast monsoon is predicted to affect southern China by mid-next week, leading to potential cooling once again.
Residents are encouraged to check updates regularly as the weather conditions evolve throughout the week, especially around the weekend when high humidity and mist can significantly alter perceived temperatures. The Hong Kong Observatory remains dedicated to monitoring these changes closely, ensuring the public is well-informed as this unpredictable winter weather continues.
