TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)


 

TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN ISSUED
BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
 
THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 IS IN FORCE.
 
AT 8 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 430
KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.6 DEGREES
NORTH 110.4 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO BE SLOW-MOVING.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAS MADE LANDFALL OVER XUWEN IN
LEIZHOU PENINSULA. THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO
LINGER IN THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF UPPER-AIR STEERING FLOW, THE FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL BE
ERRATIC WITH HIGH UNCERTAINTY.
 
UNLESS THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY OR
TAKES A MORE EASTWARD TRACK CLOSER TO HONG KONG, THE CHANCE
TO ISSUE THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO.3 DURING THE DAY TODAY
WILL NOT BE HIGH. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY
MONITOR THE MOVEMENT OF THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION.
 
RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SHOWERS AND SQUALLS TO HONG KONG.
