Hong Kong's Sizzling Weather: A Glimpse into a Climate Changing Future The sweltering heat that gripped Hong Kong over the weekend, as Typhoon Bavi subsided, is a stark reminder of the city's vulnerability to climate change.
Temperatures soared up to 35 degrees Celsius on Saturday, according to the Observatory's forecast, highlighting the city's struggle to cope with rising heatwaves and extreme weather events.
The timing of this heatwave is particularly noteworthy, coming as it did on the heels of Typhoon Bavi, a storm that had already caused widespread disruptions in Hong Kong.
