A cold front is forecast to reach Guangdong in the middle to latter part of next week, bringing stronger northeasterly winds and a significant fall in temperature, the Hong Kong Observatory says.

Before then, temperatures along the Guangdong coast are expected to rise on Nov. 12 as the northeasterly monsoon eases. An upper-level disturbance is forecast to bring showers to southern China on Nov. 13 and 14, with some areas facing heavier rain and thunderstorms early on Nov. 14.

For Nov. 19, the Observatory forecasts urban temperatures of 19°C to 24°C. Its automatic district forecast puts Ta Kwu Ling at 15°C at 7 a.m., while Tseung Kwan O, Shek Kong and Lau Fau Shan are each forecast to reach 17°C.
