The Security Bureau today held a pledging ceremony to mobilise relevant departments, organisations and work partners in full support of the 2025 Legislative Council General Election, with some 400 people taking part in the ceremony. Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung said at the event that since the implementation of the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong" in the Legislative Council, legislators have given valuable advice for the smooth passage of important legislation, including the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and laws benefitting the people and businesses, as well as facilitating the work of law enforcement departments. He called on the participants of today’s event to cast their votes on December 7 and encourage relatives and friends to vote to create a better future for Hong Kong. In addition to members led by the heads of the Security Bureau, the six disciplined services and the two auxiliary services, representatives from advisory and statutory bodies under the bureau and departments, including the Independent Police Complaints Council, the Disciplined Services Consultative Council and the Police Force Council, as well as staff associations, youth groups and work partners were also invited. The security chief and the heads of the disciplined and auxiliary services performed the pledge by piecing together puzzles, each showing a department badge, onto a lighting installation with the election slogan "Join the Election Together We Create the Future", symbolising the concerted efforts of the bureau, the disciplined and the auxiliary services to fully support the LegCo Election. Mr Tang and the department heads then led their teams to distribute leaflets in various districts to call on citizens to cast their votes on polling day.

At
noon
at the Hong Kong Observatory :
Air temperature : 28 degrees Celsius
Relative Humidity : 73 per cent
During the past hour
the mean UV Index recorded at King's Park : 5
Intensity of UV radiation : moderate Tropical Cyclone Fung-wong will enter within 800 kilometres
of Hong Kong around noon tomorrow (10 November). The
Observatory will issue the Standby Signal, No. 1 after
noontime tomorrow. According to the present forecast track,
Fung-wong will turn northwards over the northeastern part
of the South China Sea. It will be closest to Hong Kong on
Wednesday (12 November), skirting at about 400 kilometres
east of Hong Kong. Local winds will strengthen later on
Tuesday (11 November) to Wednesday. Depending on the
intensity change of Fung-wong, its distance from Hong Kong
and the local wind conditions, the Observatory will assess
the need of issuing higher tropical cyclone warning signals
on Tuesday. Fung-wong will move towards the vicinity of
Taiwan afterwards, and will weaken gradually under the
influence of the northeast monsoon.
Under the combined effect of Fung-wong and the northeast
monsoon, it will be windy and slightly cooler with swells
over the coast of Guangdong in the next few days.
Temperatures in the urban areas will fall to around 20
degrees in middle of this week. Minor flooding may occur
over some coastal low-lying areas overnight on Monday to
the small hours of Tuesday. Members of the public should
pay attention to the latest weather information from the
Observatory. Please be reminded that:The Fire Danger Warning is Yellow and the fire risk is high. The air temperatures at other places were:
