Starting from this rain season, the HKO will enhance the provision of thunderstorm-related information to alert the public of the high-impact weather induced by severe thunderstorms. Members of the public should be prepared for the rain and typhoon seasons.Дr Cheng also highlighted the latest developments of the HKOвЂ™s work. The annual rainfall is expected to be normal to below normal, but Hong Kong may still be affected by heavy rain. Under the effect of global warming, the annual mean temperature this year is expected to be above normal, with a high chance of reaching the warmest top 10 on record. It is expected that there will be four to seven tropical cyclones coming within 500 kilometres of Hong Kong this year, which is normal. On the annual weather outlook for Hong Kong in 2020, the HKO predicted that the tropical cyclone season may start in or after June in Hong Kong this year. Dr Cheng emphasised that the persistent trend of climate change warrants serious attention from the public. The mean temperature of 18.7 degrees and the mean minimum temperature of 16.8 degrees were both the second highest on record for the same period. The mean maximum temperature of the whole winter was 21.5 degrees, the highest on record for the same period. The winter from December 2019 to February 2020 was exceptionally warm in Hong Kong because there was relatively lesser cold air reaching the South China coast from the north. In contrast, there was only one Cold Day (with a daily minimum temperature at 12.0 degrees or below) last year, the smallest annual number of Cold Days since records began in 1884. There were 46 Hot Nights (with a daily minimum temperature at 28.0 degrees or above) and 33 Very Hot Days, marking the highest and the fourth highest on record respectively. In particular, the autumn from September to November 2019 was the warmest on record, with the mean temperature reaching 26.1 degrees. Locally, with the annual mean temperature reaching 24.5 degrees, 2019 was the warmest year since records began in 1884. If this meeting is already underway the meeting should stop and you should return home immediately, if it is safe to do so.The Director of the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), Dr Cheng Cho-ming, hosted a press briefing today (March 23) to recap the weather in 2019 and elaborate on the weather outlook for Hong Kong this year as well as the HKOвЂ™s latest developments.Дr Cheng pointed out that the World Meteorological Organization had confirmed 2019 as being the second warmest year on record globally, with the five years from 2015 to 2019 being the five warmest on record.
