HONG KONG, Aug 9 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Hong Kong's temperature had reached 36.9 degrees Celsius by 3.30 pm on Sunday, the highest since the city started keeping meteorological records in 1884, according to the Hong Kong Observatory, reported Xinhua.
The observatory said the blazing heat was a result of subsiding air on the periphery of Typhoon Dolphin. It expects the sweltering weather to continue for a couple of days, with temperatures potentially exceeding 37 degrees Celsius in some areas.
Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in Zhejiang Province on China's eastern coast on Sunday afternoon.
