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.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.
 
AT 11 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 170
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.8 DEGREES
NORTH 113.7 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST OR
WEST-NORTHWEST SLOWLY, AND EDGE CLOSER TO THE COAST OF
WESTERN GUANGDONG GRADUALLY.

 

THE OUTER RAINBANDS OF THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL BRING
SHOWERS AND SQUALLS TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG TONIGHT (18
JULY) AND TOMORROW. UNLESS THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION
INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY OR ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO HONG
KONG, THE CHANCE OF GENERALLY STRONG WINDS LOCALLY IN THE
SHORT TERM IS RELATIVELY LOW. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1
WILL REMAIN IN FORCE FOR SOME TIME. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
ARE REMINDED TO NOTE THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION WHEN
DEPARTING TOMORROW MORNING.

 

(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. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF LEAVES AND RUBBISH. PEOPLE
