Stability indices can be used to assess the chance of unstable weather (especially lightning and thundery showers; some of which can also be used to determine tornado possibility). The likelihood of unstable weather is indicated by the icon shown in the last column of the following table.
Data as of 20:00 HKT on 19/5/2012 (Raw observations)
| Major Stability Index | Value | Degree of Instability |
| K Index: | N/A |  |
| Lifted index: | N/A | |
| Totals totals index: | N/A | |
| Convective Inhibition: | N/A | |
| Vertical Wind Shear (925-200 hPa): | N/A knots | |
| Overall: |  | |
Notes:
- These purely quantitative indices may not fully reflect the situation in all layers of the atmosphere and each has its weaknesses. Hence such indices should be used as a general guide only. You may also click on the relevant links for a description on those indices.
- Under the influence of tropical cyclones, unstable weather may occur at lower levels of the above indices, i.e. the threshold is reduced.
- Such analysis may not be suitable in autumn and winter when cold fronts cross Hong Kong.

| Geopotential Heights & Upper Air Atmospheric Conditions |
Geopotential heights are the heights above sea level that a given set of pressures can be reached. For instance, if the geopotential height of 500 hPa is 5880 metres, it means that (at that geographic location) an ambient pressure of 500 hPa is reached when elevation is 5880 metres.
