Hong Kong woke up to temperatures as low as 13.2 degrees Celsius (55.8 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday, the coldest so far this autumn, according to the weather forecaster.
The mercury dipped as the Hong Kong Observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 13.2 degrees at its headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui at 6am.
“Under the influence of an intense northeast monsoon, the weather was appreciably cooler over Hong Kong this morning,” a spokesman for the forecaster said.


The weather forecaster said temperatures could be one to two degrees lower in the New Territories, while the maximum temperature would be about 17 degrees during the day.
The weather is expected to remain cloudy on Thursday and cool in the morning.
“Daytime temperatures will rise progressively with rather large temperature differences between day and night,” the spokesman said.
The forecaster said on Monday that it expected between nine and 17 cold days this winter, when temperatures dropped below 12 degrees.
The average annual number of cold days was 17 between 1995 and 2014, according to available records.
