Today the Hong Kong Observatory lowered the “cold weather warning” that has been in force for more than 3 weeks. Apparently that isn’t quite a record, as this warning was in place for 27 days in 1968, but normally it’s only in force for 2-3 days.
In the past I have been rather scornful about this, but frankly it really has been quite cold for the last few weeks. The problem is that apartments in Hong Kong really aren’t designed for cold weather (wooden floor, thin walls, single-glazed windows…), and some people feel an odd compulsion to open the windows just so that everyone knows that it’s winter.
Shut the windows!! Buy a heater! Switch it on!
Anyway, it’s getting warmer now.
