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.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.
 
AT 9 A.M., SEVERE TROPICAL STORM YUTU WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 400 KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.7
DEGREES NORTH 116.8 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTH OR NORTH-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR
CROSSING THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, YUTU WILL CONTINUE
TO EDGE CLOSER TO THE COASTAL WATERS OF EASTERN GUANGDONG
TODAY. WITH THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON
AND YUTU, WINDS OVER THE COAST OF GUANGDONG ARE EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 BETWEEN NOON
AND 2 P.M. 
 
AS THERE ARE SWELLS, YOU ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
