A burst of the NE monsoon, which gave strong NNE winds on 9th December, caused damage at the airport and in the harbour. Dangerous gusts are always a possibility during the winter months when the wind has a northerly direction, and on this occasion the maximum gust velocity recorded at Kai Tak was actually higher than any gust due to typhoon winds during the past three years.
