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 2 A.M., TROPICAL STORM PODUL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
560 KILOMETRES SOUTH OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.3 DEGREES NORTH
113.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST OR
WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 25 KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS THE
VICINITY OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, PODUL WILL SKIRT
ABOUT 500 KILOMETRES TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG
THIS MORNING. THE OUTER RAINBANDS OF PODUL WILL AFFECT THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG TODAY. 
 
OFFSHORE WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG THIS MORNING.
UNLESS PODUL TAKES A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK, THE CHANCE OF
GENERALLY STRONG WINDS IN THE TERRITORY IS RELATIVELY LOW.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO TAKE NOTE OF THE
LATEST WEATHER BULLETIN BEFORE DEPARTING THIS MORNING.
