TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE
HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
 
ALL SIGNALS WERE CANCELLED AT 1:15 P.M.
 
AT 1 P.M., TROPICAL STORM DIANMU WAS CENTRED ABOUT 350
KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.1 DEGREES
NORTH 111.0 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT
ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
BEIBU WAN.

 

AS DIANMU CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM HONG KONG, LOCAL
WINDS HAVE GENERALLY SUBSIDED BUT OCCASIONAL STRONG WINDS
WILL STILL AFFECT OFFSHORE AREAS AND HIGH GROUND AT FIRST.
THE OUTER RAINBANDS OF DIANMU WILL ALSO BRING OCCASIONAL
SQUALLY SHOWERS TO THE TERRITORY. AS THERE ARE SWELLS,
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
