香港勞工當局已將熱壓力監測擴展至10個地點，以發出更快警告保護戶外勞工。勞工副處長Vincent Fung Hao-yin於週一宣布，將納入天文台八個新監測站的數據。此增強措施將於下週一生效。
香港勞工處宣布擴大熱壓力監測範圍，現包括10個地點的數據，以提供更準確的熱壓力水平圖像，並更快發出警告。
Vincent Fung Hao-yin表示，此舉旨在讓戶外勞工在需要時休息至少15分鐘。香港天文台使用香港熱指數（Hong Kong Heat Index），此前依賴King’s Park Meteorological Station及Sheung Shui的Beas River的溫度、濕度、風速及太陽輻射數據。
新增加的監測站位於天文台位於Tsim Sha Tsui的總部、Chek Lap Kok、Happy Valley、Kowloon Bay、Sha Tin、Tin Shui Wai的Wetland Park、Wong Chuk Hang，以及Sai Kung外島嶼Kau Sai Chau。
下週一起，勞工處將使用這些新地點數據評估是否發出熱壓力警告。
