Hong Kong will be “extremely hot” and hit by occasional showers as Typhoon Bavi moves across the seas east of Taiwan towards Guangdong province on the weekend, with unstable offshore weather already disrupting a number of flights.
The Observatory said that as Bavi moved across Taiwan and then close to northern Fujian province and southern Zhejiang province, its outer airstream would subside, resulting in “mainly fine and extremely hot weather” in Guangdong from Friday to Sunday.
“High temperatures may also trigger showers,” the forecaster said on Friday. “Under the influence of a fresh to strong southwest monsoon, it will be windier over the coast of Guangdong over the weekend.”
According to the Observatory’s latest nine-day forecast, maximum temperatures on Friday will hit 33 degrees Celsius (91 Fahrenheit) and reach as high as 35 degrees the next day.
Isolated showers are expected over the weekend, before the weather becomes more unstable under a broad trough of low pressure next week.

China’s National Meteorological Centre said on Friday that Bavi had weakened to a “severe typhoon”, with wind speeds at its centre falling to 45 metres per second as it continued towards the country’s southeastern coast, where it was expected to land between Fuqing in Fujian and Wenling in Zhejiang.
Dozens of weekend flights operated by Hong Kong-based airlines to Taiwan, mainland China and Japan were earlier cancelled due to Bavi.
Several high-speed rail trips were also cancelled in anticipation of the extreme weather, including Friday’s G900 and G899 services, which run between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
