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 2 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 220
KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.0 DEGREES NORTH
112.6 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST AT ABOUT
12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS OF
GUANGDONG.

 

THE CIRCULATION OF THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS RATHER SMALL.
THE ASSOCIATED STRONG WINDS WILL KEEP A DISTANCE FROM HONG
KONG IN THE MORNING. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE IN THE MORNING.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER RAINBANDS OF THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION, THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND SQUALLS IN
THE TERRITORY TODAY AND THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THERE WILL ALSO
BE SWELLS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
