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 10 A.M., TROPICAL STORM PODUL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
630 KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.5
DEGREES NORTH 111.0 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST AT ABOUT 25 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE SEAS SOUTH
OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, PODUL IS DEPARTING STEADILY FROM THE
TERRITORY. OCCASIONAL STRONG WINDS ARE STILL AFFECTING
OFFSHORE WATERS. WHEN THE THREAT OF PODUL TO HONG KONG
DIMINISHES, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS. 
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF OUTER RAINBANDS OF PODUL, THERE WILL
BE OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN HONG
KONG TODAY.

1. EVERY PRECAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. OBJECTS LIKELY TO BE
BLOWN AWAY SHOULD BE SECURED OR TAKEN INDOORS.
