Windy

It’s windy in Hong Kong today. It feels like Autumn is finally here. Only problem is it’s November and we’ll already be entering Winter next month. Scary.

Another typhoon

by Kingsley on September 23, 2008

Wow, another Category 8 Typhoon is hoisted. This is like the 5th this year, including a Category 9 last month. What’s with the crazy weather? Interestingly, it seems also the only time I’m blogging. Weather and blogging, must be some weird correlation there.

The hot Autumn

by Kingsley on September 22, 2008

It’s well into the Fall, but the weather in Hong Kong is reaching record highs, rising above 34 degrees in the afternoon. It’s currently 33-degree at 15 minutes to midnight. Also, a Typhoon warning is hoisted. In the four months I moved to my new home, there were multiple typhoons. The once luscious plants on my balcony are now withered to a few leaves on a dying stump. They barely recovered from one typhoon before another one hit. If this one rises to a Signal No. 8 or above, it will be the final nail to the coffin for my plants for sure.

Category 8 Typhoon

by Kingsley on August 23, 2008

The typhoon in Hong Kong has been lowered from Category 9 to 8, and is expected to weaken even further by morning. That means I have to set the alarm to wake me up in time for work. Still, it was an unexpected yet relaxing one day off. I will check on my withering plants in the morning.

Category 9 Typhoon

by Kingsley on August 22, 2008

A Category 9 Typhoon is hitting Hong Kong right now. Only two weeks ago we had a Category 8. My huge plants sitting on the balcony were still trying to recover from the last typhoon, and already another one is here. I doubt they’ll survive after this.

I found out that the last time we had a Cat. 9 Typhoon in Hong Kong was 5 years ago, on Sept. 2nd of 2003. I remember the exact date, because it was on my birthday.
