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 8 A.M., TROPICAL DEPRESSION RAI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 200 KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR
20.6 DEGREES NORTH 113.7 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO
MOVE NORTHEAST OR EAST-NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 25 KILOMETRES PER
HOUR ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, RAI WILL BE CLOSEST TO
HONG KONG AROUND NOON, SKIRTING WITHIN 200 KILOMETRES SOUTH
OF HONG KONG. THE CHANCE FOR THE LOCAL WINDS TO STRENGTHEN
FURTHER IS RELATIVELY LOW. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL
REMAIN IN FORCE THIS MORNING. 
 
BESIDES, THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE
ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE
IN WATER SPORTS.

 

(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. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
