TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)

 

TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE 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 9 P.M., TROPICAL STORM MEGI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
410 KILOMETRES NORTH-NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 25.4
DEGREES NORTH 116.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE INLAND
AREAS OF FUJIAN AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

WITH MEGI GRADUALLY MOVING AWAY FROM HONG KONG AND FURTHER
WEAKENING, ITS THREAT TO HONG KONG HAS DIMINISHED
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS SHORTLY. 
 
THE NORTHEAST MONSOON IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE SOUTH CHINA
COASTAL AREAS. THE OBSERVATORY WILL THEN CONSIDER ISSUING
THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL DEPENDING ON LOCAL WIND
CONDITIONS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEB SITE FOR INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL
CYCLONE.
