Hong Kong logs warmest October on record: weather service
Hong Kong, Nov 4 (AFP) Nov 04, 2025
Hong Kong's weather service said Tuesday the city endured the hottest October on record, as scientists warn extreme heat will become more frequent and intense because of human-induced climate change globally.

The Hong Kong Observatory said the month was exceptionally warm in the finance hub due to "a stronger than normal upper-air anticyclone covering southern China", adding that cooler air from the north only reached the coast of southern China later in October.

"The monthly mean temperature of 27.4 degrees (Celsius) and monthly mean minimum temperature of 25.6 degrees were both the highest on record for October," the Observatory said.

The monthly mean maximum temperature of 29.9C was the second highest on record, it added.
