Hong Kong has historic cold snap

date: 24 12, 2005   

Hong Kong , Dec.24 (BNA) Hong Kong has had frost in its coldest winter weather for 20 years, weather monitors said today.
The Hong Kong Observatory confirmed temperature fell to just 1.4 degrees Celsius at one hilltop early Friday morning and frost was found both there and on Shatin racecourse at dawn. Temperatures were pushed below freezing in exposed places because of wind chill, giving Hong Kong its lowest recorded temperatures for 20 years, observatory officials said.
