Hong Kong has recorded the highest temperature since records began in 1884 on Sunday afternoon under the impact of Severe Typhoon Dolphin.

According to the Hong Kong Observatory, the outer subsiding air associated with Dolphin brought generally fine and extremely hot weather to Guangdong province.

By 1.30pm, the maximum temperature at the Observatory reached 36.8 degrees Celsius (98 Fahrenheit), the highest temperature on record since 1884.

Meanwhile, Sheung Shui recorded 38.3 degrees, and Yuen Long Park and Wong Tai Sin recorded about 37 degrees.

The weather forecaster said the high-temperature weather will continue until midweek.

Dolphin was centred about 180km (112 miles) east of Wenzhou and was forecast to move west at about 18 km/h (11.2mph) towards Zhejiang province and then move inland.
