HALF OF JUNE'S RAIN FALLS IN TWO DAYS
*****
RAINFALL IN TWO SEPARATE DAYS IN JUNE ACCOUNTED FOR 58 PER CENT OF THE MONTH'S TOTAL, THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY REPORTED TODAY (TUESDAY).
THE TWO DAYS WERE JUNE 6, WHEN A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PASSED RAPIDLY THROUGH HONG KONG, AND JUNE 25 WHEN A DISTURBANCE IN THE SOUTHWEST MONSOON AFFECTED THE TERRITORY.
HOWEVER, ON THE WHOLE, JUNE WAS A NORMAL MONTH IN RESPECT OF TEMPERATURE, CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION. THE TOTAL RAINFALL OF 415.9 MM RECORDED AT THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY WAS NEAR THE MONTH'S NORMAL OF 431.8 MM.
FROM JUNE 1 TO 3, THE WEATHER WAS MAINLY FINE AND HOT APART FROM SOME LOCALISED HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
ON JUNE 4, A PERTURBED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW GAVE RISE TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, PARTICULARLY IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE NEW TERRITORIES.
THE WEATHER IMPROVED DURING THE FOLLOWING DAY.
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE THEN DEVELOPED CLOSE TO THE NORTH OF HONG KONG EARLY ON JUNE 6 AND MOVED RAPIDLY SOUTHWARDS THROUGH THE TERRITORY. INTENSE RAIN FELL FROM 9 AM TO 10 AM AND AMOUNTED TO 73.9 MM.
THE KOWLOON PENINSULA, NORTH POINT AND CLEAR WATER BAY WERE THE WETTEST AREAS AND THE TOTAL RAINFALL DURING THE DAY EXCEEDED 150 MM.
ON JUNE 7, MINOR FLOODINGS IN WESTERN DISTRICT AND A MUDSLIP IN NGAU CHI WAN WERE REPORTED.
THE PROXIMITY OF THE TROUGH CAUSED RAINY AND COOLER WEATHER TO CONTINUE IN HONG KONG FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
