Hong Kong - Cold Warning - Brrrr

A Cold Warning has been issued in Hong Kong - this is presumably a
side-effect of the cold weather affecting parts of southern China.

Today's maximum at the airport was a decidely chilly 10.1°C. The
January average max (1971-2000, at the King's Park site on Kowloon) is
18.6°C, but an indication of how cold this is for Hong Kong is that
the mean MIN for January is 16.1°C with just 2.5 degC normal diurnal
range. The max on 27th was also 10.1°C. Earlier in the month
*minimum* temperatures exceeded 20°C, with daytime temperatures
reaching 27°C on 11th.

Very cloudy and wet, too - yesterday 29.1 mm fell at the airport, this
compares with the January monthly average of 24.9 mm.
