THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 IS IN FORCE.
 
AT 2 P.M., TROPICAL STORM LUPIT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
190 KILOMETRES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.4
DEGREES NORTH 115.7 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.

 

THE RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH LUPIT ARE AFFECTING THE
COASTAL AREAS OF GUANGDONG.
