Hong Kong can expect to see rainy and unsettled weather next week, but the city is unlikely to be directly affected by three tropical cyclones that have formed in the Pacific.

The Observatory said on Saturday that showers would increase on Monday and Tuesday.

“The weather will be very hot over Guangdong [on Sunday], showers triggered by high temperatures will affect the region,” the forecaster said.

Temperatures hit as high as 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) on Saturday.

“Under the influence of an active southwesterly airstream, the weather will remain unsettled over the coast of southern China in the middle and latter parts of next week,” the forecaster said.

It said the increased showers early next week were due to the northward movement of a monsoon gyre, a large-scale cyclonic circulation, and a broad trough of low pressure affecting the coast of southern China.
