October was well below normal while the mean temperature, the mean maximum temperature, and the mean minimum temperature for September, were all the highest on record. On September 9, the afternoon temperature reached 34.7°C which is the second highest temperature recorded in any September.
October was predominantly fine and dry. Seventy per cent of the month's total rainfall fell during two hours of thunder- storms associated with a cold front which passed Hong Kong on the morning of the October 18.
The last two months of the year were sunny, dry and warm and no measureable rain was recorded from November 22 until the end of the year. The total rainfall during November and December amounted to only 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) which is the lowest ever recorded in any two consecutive months.
