The minimum pressure recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 1010.3 hectopascals at 1454 HKT on 1 February.
The maximum air temperature recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 27.3 degrees C at 1347 HKT on 27 February.
The minimum air temperature recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 12.2 degrees C at 0711 HKT on 4 February.
The maximum gust peak speed recorded at Cheung Chau was 87 kilometres per hour from 020 degrees at 0711 HKT on 2 February.
^ In case the data are not available from Waglan Island, observations of Cheung Chau or other nearby weather stations will be incorporated in computing the Prevailing Wind Direction and Mean Wind Speed.
* Wind data recorded at Cheung Chau were used for 1 - 8 February due to malfunction of the anemometer at Waglan Island.
