Natural climate of Clear Water Bay Country Park

In terms of climate, Hong Kong is located in the subtropical zone of the northern hemisphere, backed by Eurasia and facing the Pacific Ocean, forming a maritime subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. At the end of each year, the high pressure accumulated in Siberia blows dry and cold air to the low-pressure Pacific Ocean, which becomes the winter wind in Hong Kong. In the middle of the year, a high pressure formed in the Pacific Ocean, but this summer monsoon blew to Eurasia, bringing rainy and humid summers to Hong Kong. In short, March-April is spring every year, with mild and humid climate, fog and low visibility. May to August is summer, with hot and humid temperatures and heavy rainfall. September to 10 is autumn, which is generally cool and sunny. Summer and autumn are typhoon seasons, and Hong Kong is hit by tropical cyclones. June 165438+ 10 to February of the following year is winter, which is cool and dry, with occasional first frost in the highlands.

In addition, the high-rise buildings in the urban area of Hong Kong are concentrated and densely populated, and the microclimate formed is easy to produce the heat island effect, which leads to the obvious temperature difference between the urban area and the suburbs. Urban areas with high population density also make it difficult for suspended particles in the air to be blown away. The days of hot weather and misty clouds in Hong Kong are getting longer and longer.
