Mercury levels in Hong Kong are expected to drop to 14 degrees Celsius next week as an intense monsoon approaches the city.
The Hong Kong Observatory said on Friday that a fresh to strong easterly airstream would affect the coast of Guangdong in the next couple of days.
But the weather over the weekend will be fine, with occasional patches of rain in the morning and evenings. Temperatures will range from 19 to 23 degrees.
An intense northeast monsoon is expected to reach the coast of southern China from Monday to Tuesday and temperatures are expected to fall progressively.

“There will be a few showers and temperatures will fall appreciably over the region,” the forecaster said.
“The temperature difference between day and night will be relatively large.”
Temperatures will dip to a low of 14 degrees next Thursday, with showers expected on Monday before the weather turns fine and dry in the later parts of the week.
Friday marks the start of the solar term “minor snow” in the Chinese agricultural calendar.
The 24 terms in the system, linked to the sun’s longitude, have been used to describe the weather in China since ancient times.
