TROPICAL CYCLONE VONGFONG WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT
TOWARDS THE SEAS EAST OF TAIWAN, AND FURTHER WEAKEN TODAY
(17 MAY). VONGFONG IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A DISTANCE FROM
HONG KONG AND ITS CIRCULATION IS RELATIVELY COMPACT, POSING
NO DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY. HOWEVER, THE WEATHER
OVER SOUTHERN CHINA WILL BECOME UNSETTLED THIS WEEK UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. HEAVY SHOWERS
AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN HONG KONG LATER
ON MONDAY TO TUESDAY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BEWARE
OF THE CHANGEABLE WEATHER.
