TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)


 

TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN ISSUED
BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
 
THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 IS IN FORCE.
 
AT 9 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 410
KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.9 DEGREES NORTH
111.2 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTH AT ABOUT
12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF WESTERN
GUANGDONG.

 

THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES IN THE DIRECTION AND SPEED OF
MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION. WHEN THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION EDGES CLOSER TO THE COAST OF WESTERN GUANGDONG,
WINDS OVER OFFSHORE WATERS WILL STRENGTHEN. THE OBSERVATORY
WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE VARIATION OF LOCAL WIND STRENGTH
IN DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO.3
WILL BE ISSUED TOMORROW. 
 
DEPENDING ON THE CHANGES OF UPPER-AIR STEERING FLOW, THERE
IS RATHER HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION IN THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PARTS OF THIS WEEK.
HOWEVER, ITS ASSOCIATED RAINBANDS WILL BRING SQUALLY
SHOWERS TO HONG KONG.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
 
2. PEOPLE PLANNING TO VISIT GUANGDONG, MACAU, OUTLYING
ISLANDS OR REMOTE PARTS OF HONG KONG SHOULD NOTE THAT
CHANGES IN WEATHER MAY AFFECT YOUR TRIPS.
