Coldest night in Hong Kong since 1985

Hong Kong - It's no White Christmas, but Hong Kong has had frost in its coldest winter weather for 20 years, weather monitors said Saturday.

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.

Hong Kong is sub-tropical, and it is rare for the mercury to fall below 10 degrees Celsius at any time of the year.

A warmer Christmas with sunshine during the day and temperatures climbing to 21 degrees Celsius has been forecast for December 25 after a two-week cold spell.
