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 7 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 190
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.8 DEGREES
NORTH 113.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ALMOST
STATIONARY AT FIRST, THEN MOVE NORTHWEST OR NORTH-NORTHWEST
SLOWLY LATER, EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST OF WESTERN
GUANGDONG GRADUALLY.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION HOVERED OVER
THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF WESTERN GUANGDONG. UNLESS THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO HONG KONG, THE
CHANCE OF LOCAL WINDS GENERALLY STRENGTHENING SIGNIFICANTLY
IN THE MORNING IS RELATIVELY LOW. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1
WILL REMAIN IN FORCE FOR SOME TIME THIS MORNING.  
 
THE HEAVY SHOWERS AND SQUALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE COAST OF GUANGDONG
TODAY.

 

(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
