Hong Kong experienced temperatures exceeding 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) on Saturday. The Hong Kong Observatory attributed this extreme heat to Severe Typhoon Dolphin. The Observatory warned that the exceptionally hot weather is expected to continue for several more days, extending into early next week. This persistent heat is caused by the subsiding air from Severe Typhoon Dolphin as it moves towards the Zhejiang and northern Fujian region.
