CENT.

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA IS SLOW-MOVING. IT IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT TOWARDS
HAINAN ISLAND IN THE COMING ONE TO TWO DAYS. AS IT WILL
REMAIN AT A DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG, ITS DIRECT THREAT TO
THE TERRITORY IS NOT HIGH.
  
MEANWHILE, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER LUZON STRAIT IS
MOVING WEST STEADILY. IT IS EXPECTED TO COME CLOSE TO THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG ON SUNDAY. ITS ASSOCIATED UNSETTLED
WEATHER WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SQUALLS TO THE REGION ON
SUNDAY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THE
WEATHER CHANGES.

HOT WEATHER MIGHT CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. THE
OBSERVATORY ADVISES THE PUBLIC TO STAY ON THE ALERT.
