Hong Kong experiences extreme heat on Saturday as Tropical Cyclone Dolphin brings sweltering conditions. The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) reports that temperatures exceed 38°C in some parts of the city.
HKO says Dolphin is moving toward the vicinity of Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Outflow from the system, described as “outer subsiding air,” contributes to persistently hot weather across the territory, with conditions expected to continue beyond Saturday. Multiple outlets also report that weak winds linger around Hong Kong on Friday, adding to the heat in the days that follow.
While all sources agree on the overall impact, they differ slightly in the specifics they emphasize. The Hong Kong Free Press and one South China Morning Post report focus on the highest readings surpassing 38°C, while another SCMP story highlights forecasts that temperatures could reach 36°C or above in more areas over the weekend. All accounts include that residents should take precautions against heat-related illness.
