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 NOON, TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAIKUI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 290 KILOMETRES EAST-NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 23.5
DEGREES NORTH 116.7 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE EASTERN
PART OF INLAND GUANGDONG AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

HAIKUI IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF
INLAND GUANGDONG AND WEAKEN FURTHER. ALTHOUGH THE CHANCE OF
HAVING STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER HONG KONG IS RELATIVELY
LOW, THERE WOULD STILL BE OCCASIONAL STRONG WINDS OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS OF EASTERN GUANGDONG AT FIRST. THE STANDBY
SIGNAL NO. 1 WILL REMAIN FOR SOME TIME. WHEN HAIKUI NO
LONGER POSES A THREAT TO HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS. THE RAINBANDS
ASSOCIATED WITH HAIKUI WILL AFFECT THE COAST OF SOUTHERN
CHINA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
