ALTHOUGH THE WIND STRENGTH NEAR THE CENTRE OF THE MONSOON
DEPRESSION NOW OVER SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG IS NOT HIGH,
THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR ITS FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.  IT IS
EXPECTED TO KEEP LINGERING AROUND SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG AT
FIRST AND IT WILL MOVE WEST AFTERWARDS. THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY WILL MONITOR CLOSELY ITS DEVELOPMENT. WINDS
OVER THE TERRITORY ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME SOUTHERLY ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE SQUALLY SHOWERS,
WHICH WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM
