TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)


TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN

HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE
HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.

THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 IS IN FORCE.

THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.

AT 5 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE LUZON STRAIT
WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 670 KILOMETRES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF
HONG KONG (NEAR 19.1 DEGREES NORTH 119.6 DEGREES EAST) AND
IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 20 KILOMETRES
PER HOUR ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

AS THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS STILL SOME DISTANCE FROM HONG
KONG, THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO ISSUE THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL
NO. 3 FOR THE REST OF TODAY.

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA OVER THE WEEKEND AND BRING
SQUALLY SHOWERS TO HONG KONG.

DISPATCHED BY HONG KONG OBSERVATORY AT 16:46 HKT ON 10.07.2009
