Hong Kong's Lantau Island and some rural areas are expected to experience temperatures as low as 8 degrees Celsius on Sunday morning, according to the Hong Kong Observatory. Other rural areas like Sai Kung and Ta Kwu Ling will see slightly warmer temperatures of 9 degrees Celsius. Urban areas can expect a low of around 13 degrees Celsius with possible light rain initially on Sunday, before becoming drier and sunnier later in the day. The temperature drop is attributed to a northeast monsoon affecting the Guangdong coast and a band of clouds covering the region. Temperatures across the city on Saturday afternoon were already significantly lower than the previous day.
