How it's used
Meteorological reports in Hong Kong frequently use this term to describe wind direction during the autumn and winter months. It is often associated with the arrival of cooler, drier air masses from the mainland. Unlike general descriptions of weather, this term is specific enough to be used in formal forecasts while remaining common in everyday conversation.
Examples
A north-easterly wind is blowing today, the weather is quite cool.
Will it shift to a north-easterly wind tomorrow?
