The winter monsoon is predicted to bring continued cold weather to the coastal areas of Guangdong over the next two days. The region will remain generally sunny and breezy. As the monsoon slightly weakens early next week, temperatures are expected to rise slightly, but mornings will still feel cool.
A replenishment of dry monsoon winds is expected to affect Guangdong in the middle of next week, leading to another drop in temperatures. The region will experience mostly sunny and very dry conditions, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.
The Observatory forecasts that tomorrow morning will remain cold, with a large temperature difference between day and night. Early next week, the weather will continue to be sunny and dry, with cool mornings.
