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 11 P.M., TROPICAL STORM AERE WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
320 KILOMETRES EAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.8 DEGREES NORTH
117.2 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST SLOWLY AND
LINGER OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, AERE WILL STAY
MORE THAN 300 KILOMETRES AWAY FROM HONG KONG FOR MOST OF
SUNDAY AND WILL NOT POST A THREAT TO HONG KONG SHORTLY. A
REPLENISHMENT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON HAS ARRIVED AT THE
COASTAL AREAS OF GUANGDONG. HONG KONG WILL BE DOMINATED BY
THE NORTHEAST MONSOON PROGRESSIVELY AND WILL BECOME COOLER.
