TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 3)


 

TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN ISSUED
BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
 
THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 IS IN FORCE.
 
THIS MEANS THAT WINDS WITH MEAN SPEEDS OF 41 TO 62
KILOMETRES PER HOUR ARE EXPECTED.
 
AT 2 A.M., TROPICAL STORM NANGKA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
610 KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.7
DEGREES NORTH 109.0 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST OR WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 20 KILOMETRES PER HOUR
ACROSS BEIBU WAN.

 

NANGKA HAS MOVED AWAY FROM HONG KONG. ITS IMPACT TO THE
TERRITORY HAS DIMINISHED. HONG KONG IS STILL UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON. STRONG WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT HONG KONG FOR SOME TIME. THERE WILL ALSO
BE OCCASIONAL GALES OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH GROUND AT FIRST.
THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER REPLACING THE
STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 BY THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL
SHORTLY. 
 
THERE WILL BE SWELLS AND VERY ROUGH SEAS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT
TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 3 SIGNAL)
 
1. AVOID STAYING IN AREAS EXPOSED TO HIGH WINDS. DRIVERS
USING HIGHWAYS AND FLYOVERS SHOULD BE ALERT TO VIOLENT
GUSTS.
 
2. STRONG WINDS ARE STILL BLOWING. YOU SHOULD NOT RELAX
TAKING PRECAUTIONS. BEWARE OF FALLING OBJECTS IN WINDS. DO
NOT TOUCH ELECTRIC CABLES THAT HAVE BEEN BLOWN LOOSE.
 
3. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
