Lee Hong Kong Observatory Abstract The 2008 Olympic equestrian events will be held in Sha Tin and Beas River of Hong Kong in August. The weather of Hong Kong in August is hot and humid and is likely to be affected by thunderstorms, rainstorms and tropical cyclones. Since these adverse weather conditions could affect the progress of the events and the performance of the athletes and participating horses, relevant climatological information and analysis results are very useful for organizers and participants’ reference and preparation. In this paper, the mean and extreme values of different meteorological elements, including the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) which reflects the corresponding heat stress, in the venues as well as statistics of severe weather of Hong Kong were compiled using data of the Hong Kong Observatory Headquarters, Sha Tin and Beas River. The analysis results show that, in Sha Tin and Beas River, WBGT is usually highest from noon to 2:00 p.m. and the percentage of time with hourly mean WBGT value ≥ 33 (high heat stress) is less than 2%. 1 年行 兩不 雷暴 暴不利 度 參 料 見 了立 年
