HONG KONG’S COLDEST MAY DAY IN OVER 100 YEARS
Hong Kong recorded its coldest May temperature for more than a century on Monday morning.
The Hong Kong Observatory reported a minimum temperature of 16.4C (61.5F) in Tsim Sha Tsui, the lowest reading in May since 1917 (The Centennial Minimum), and breaking the previous record-low from 2013 of 16.6C (61.9F).
Meteorologist Leung Wing-mo, a former assistant director at the Observatory, said such a low temperature in May was “rare”, and was about 7C lower than the average minimum temperature of 23.3C (74F).
“Under global warming, cool weather in May will be rarer, while hot weather will be more common, which we are worried about,” said the ‘expert’. “So cold weather in May is in fact a good sign.” 🤦 ALLON
