Hong Kong is bracing for a cold spell beginning Tuesday evening, with temperatures expected to drop to 11 degrees Celsius overnight and persist through Friday. The Hong Kong Observatory forecasts even lower temperatures in the New Territories, potentially reaching 6.3 degrees Celsius in Ta Kwu Ling. While this is the second cold spell to hit Hong Kong this year, residents should anticipate feeling colder than the recorded temperature due to increased humidity. The intense winter monsoon is responsible for the drop in temperatures across the city. The public is encouraged to stay updated through the SCMP app.
