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 5 P.M., TROPICAL STORM AERE WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
280 KILOMETRES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.6
DEGREES NORTH 116.8 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTHEAST SLOWLY AND LINGER OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS, AERE DRIFTED SLOWLY TO THE
NORTHEAST AND SHOWED SIGN OF WEAKENING. ITS DISTANCE FROM
HONG KONG IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE GRADUALLY.
 
A REPLENISHMENT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON IS EXPECTED TO
REACH THE COASTAL AREAS OF GUANGDONG TONIGHT, BRINGING
RELATIVELY COOLER WEATHER TO HONG KONG. THE OBSERVATORY
WILL MONITOR THE MOVEMENT AND INTENSITY CHANGES OF AERE TO
CONSIDER THE NEED OF KEEPING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO VISIT GUANGDONG, MACAU, ANY OF
THE OFF-SHORE ISLANDS OR REMOTE PARTS OF HONG KONG, YOU ARE
REMINDED THAT CHANGES IN WEATHER MAY AFFECT YOUR PLANS.
