Hong Kong recorded its coldest May temperature for more than a century on Monday morning.

The Hong Kong Observatory reported a minimum temperature of 16.4C (61.5F) in Tsim Sha Tsui, the lowest reading in May since 1917 (The Centennial Minimum), and breaking the previous record-low from 2013 of 16.6C (61.9F).

Meteorologist Leung Wing-mo, a former assistant director at the Observatory, said such a low temperature in May was “rare”, and was about 7C lower than the average minimum temperature of 23.3C (74F).
