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.
 
TROPICAL STORM MEGI HAS WEAKENED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.
 
AT 11 P.M., MEGI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 420 KILOMETRES
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 25.5 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.

 

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