Cold Weather Warning


The Cold Weather Warning is now in force.
The Hong Kong Observatory is forecasting cold weather
in Hong Kong during
the overnight period.

As Hong Kong is being continuously affected by a cold winter monsoon,
people are advised to put on warm clothes and to
avoid adverse health effects due to the cold weather.
You must also ensure adequate indoor ventilation.

If you must go out, please avoid prolonged exposure to wintry winds.

If you know of elderly persons or persons with chronic medical
conditions staying alone, please call or visit them
occasionally to check if they need any assistance.

Make sure heaters are safe before use, and place them away from any combustibles.
Do not light fires indoors as a means to keep warm.

Whatever the temperature, please ensure that there is plenty
of fresh air in your room when you are using an old-type gas
water heater.
