THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS COVERING SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, WHILE

CHINA SEA IS BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION.

HAINAN ISLAND AND THEN INTO BEIBU WAN ON SUNDAY. IT WILL
KEEP AT A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG
KONG AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE TERRITORY. HOWEVER,
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND
TALAS, IT WILL BE WINDIER WITH SQUALLY SHOWERS OVER THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ON SUNDAY. PEOPLE OUT
TO THE SEA OR ENGAGING IN WATER SPORTS SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF
THE WEATHER CHANGES.
