下星期一是廿四節氣中的「立冬」，天文台預測未來幾日氣溫反覆，本周中期進一步下跌至20℃，但至立冬那日最高達29℃，若預測準確，將會是自1884年有紀錄以來第5個最熱的立冬日，10月份平均氣溫亦同樣會破歷年最高紀錄。

下周立冬最高29℃ 最熱10月勢破紀錄（2016年10月31日）。明報，取自 https://news.mingpao.com/pns/dailynews/web_tc/article/20161031/s00002/1477850765106

The “commencement of winter” takes place each year around November 7 or 8 in the Gregorian calendar and is followed by “light snow” – both being solar terms in the Chinese version. The warmest one to date was 2008, when temperatures went up to 29.4 degrees.
