Yu Lan Festival in the seventh month of the lunar calendar is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by Chinese people all over the world. It is also known as Ghost Month or Zhongyuan Festival. During this month, people pay respect to their ancestors and offer sacrifices to them.

At the beginning of the ghost month, Hong Kong is usually hot and humid. This year, Sheung Shui recorded a temperature of 36.1 degrees Celsius on July 1st, which is unusually high for this time of year. The hot weather has caused many people to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities.

The Yu Lan Festival is an important event for many Chinese families in Hong Kong. On this day, families gather together to remember their ancestors and offer sacrifices such as food, incense and paper money to them. People also burn joss paper and set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. In addition, some families will visit their ancestral gravesites to pay respects and clean up the area around them.

At night, it will be cloudy with temperatures dropping slightly due to the humidity in the air. People are advised to take precautions against heatstroke by drinking plenty of water and avoiding strenuous activities during this period of time.

香港的七月份是農曆的第七個月，是中國人民祭祀先人的傳統節日，也被稱為鬼月或中元節。在這個月份裡，人們向先人表達敬意，並向他們供奉物品。

在鬼月開始時，香港通常很熱而潮濕。今年7月1日上水的氣溫記錄了36.1度，這對於這個季節來說是不尋常的高溫。這種天氣使得許多人留在室內，避免戶外活動。

余歷節對許多香港中國家庭來說是一個重要的事件。在這一天，家庭聚集在一起，以此來思念先人並向他們供奉食物、香、紙幣之類的物品。人們也會焚化神佛用的金紙，並放出鞭炮以遠離惡魔。此外，一些家庭也會去參觀宗親墳場以表達敬意並打理周圍區域。

到了夜間，天氣將因大量的濕度而略微下降。人們被勸告要注意中暑，多補充水分並避免在此期間進行剧烈運動。
