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 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 640
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 16.9 DEGREES
NORTH 111.9 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTH-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS THE
VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION MOVED
NORTHWARDS STEADILY. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST
TRACK, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE
COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING, BUT
WILL STILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF OVER 500 KILOMETRES FROM
THE TERRITORY. LOCALLY, THE WINDS MAY PICK UP OVERNIGHT,
BUT THE CHANCE OF HAVING GENERALLY STRONG WINDS IS
RELATIVELY LOW. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN
FORCE OVERNIGHT. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER
BULLETINS BEFORE DEPARTING TOMORROW MORNING. 
 
THE RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE COAST OF GUANGDONG FOR THE REST OF
TODAY AND TOMORROW, AND WILL BRING OCCASIONAL SHOWERS,
THUNDERSTORMS AND SQUALLS TO THE REGION.
