Why It Matters
As the two low-pressure systems approach southeastern China and southern China, the region will experience a significant shift toward unsettled weather patterns . The interaction between these developing systems and a high-pressure ridge over southeastern China will bring stronger winds and periodic rainfall, affecting daily activities and outdoor plans for Hong Kong residents through the weekend.
