At noon, Tropical Storm Fengshen was centred about 300 kilometres south-southwest of Dongsha, moving west-northwest at approximately 18 kilometres per hour across the northern part of the South China Sea and gradually approaching the coast of Guangdong.
The Observatory stated that a strong northeast monsoon is affecting the coastal areas of Guangdong. By noon, temperatures in many parts of Hong Kong were about 3 degrees lower than yesterday. The weather in Hong Kong this afternoon and tonight will be generally cloudy with bright periods during the afternoon and a few showers later. Temperatures in urban areas will drop significantly tonight to a minimum of around 23 degrees, and one or two degrees lower in the New Territories. Rain will become more frequent at times tomorrow and on Wednesday. Winds will remain quite strong over the next couple of days, with urban temperatures dropping significantly to around 19 degrees, and two to three degrees lower in the New Territories. Seas will be rough with swells. Some low-lying coastal areas may experience flooding tonight.
