Cold front to sweep across HK on Wednesday

The Observatory predicts a cold front will sweep across the city this week, with the mercury set to drop to a minimum of 16 degrees Celsius in urban areas on Friday.

Weather authorities expect the Guangdong coastline will remain cloudy for the next two days owing to the effects of an easterly airstream along with one or two showers during the day.

A cold front set to sweep across the Southern Chinese coastline on Wednesday will likely result in strong gusts, with the temperature noticeably dropping.

Starting on Thursday, the mercury could drop to a minimum of 18 degrees and to just 16 degrees on Friday and Saturday.
