Hong Kong has recorded its highest temperature ever at 36.9°C, surpassing the previous record of 36.6°C set in 2017. This unprecedented heat was driven by Typhoon Dolphin, which has also caused flight cancellations and evacuations along China's east coast as it made landfall in Zhejiang province.
The Hong Kong Observatory issued a 'very hot weather warning' as the storm's outer subsiding air continues to affect the region, prompting advisories for residents to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities.
