the heatwave ends

Hongkong's 10-day heatwave came to an end this morning when heavy rain began falling soon after 11 a.m.

The heatwave was almost a record. The Colony recorded an 11-day hot spell in July of 1953. Maxi- mum temperatures wore the highest for two years.

Today's noon temperature showed a decided drop compared with the same time yesterday, Today's read- ing was 81.8 degrees compared with yesterday's of 91.

A spokesman for the Royal Observatory said the rain signalled the end to the hot speli.

Typhoon Polly which caused the heatwave was now moving away and the Colony was coming into the south-westerly monsoon.

"This will mean an end to the extreme high tem- con be ex- peratures, and more showery conditions pected," he said.

Despite the torrid heat which drove thousands every evening to the Colony beaches and forced thou- sands to sleep on the streets and verandahs, Goy- ernment hospitals reported today that there had been no cases of heat prostration."
