Hong Kong has experienced its hottest October on record, with a mean temperature of 27.6°C, surpassing last year's record by 0.2°C. This unprecedented heat is attributed to the exceptionally strong El Nino phenomenon, which has raised global temperatures and disrupted weather patterns. The city also observed its highest temperature ever, 36.9°C, in August during Typhoon Dolphin. In a separate development, Crypto.com announced the discontinuation of its consumer app services in Hong Kong by February 1, 2027, citing regulatory changes. The company will continue to pursue regulatory approval for its institutional exchange and remains committed to the Asia-Pacific region.
