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.
 
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA WAS NAMED LUPIT.
 
AT 10 A.M., LUPIT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 190 KILOMETRES
SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.2 DEGREES NORTH 115.6
DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST AND
THEN TRACK NORTHEAST LATER AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS OF GUANGDONG.

 

LUPIT SHOWS SIGNS OF INTENSIFICATION. HOWEVER, BASED ON THE
PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, LUPIT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AWAY
FROM HONG KONG. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN
FORCE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. 
 
WHEN LUPIT NO LONGER POSES A THREAT TO THE TERRITORY, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS. 
 
THE RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH LUPIT WILL OCCASIONALLY BRING
SHOWERS AND SQUALLS TO HONG KONG IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THERE WILL ALSO BE SWELLS. THE PUBLIC SHOULD REMAIN ON THE
ALERT.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF LEAVES AND RUBBISH. PEOPLE
IN LOW-LYING AREAS SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FLOODING.
