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 10 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 610
KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 18.2 DEGREES NORTH
110.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST
AT ABOUT 25 KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF
HAINAN ISLAND.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION STARTS TO DEPART FROM HONG KONG. IT
WILL MAKE LANDFALL AT HAINAN ISLAND SHORTLY. THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE FOR SOME TIME TODAY.
WHEN THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION NO LONGER POSES A THREAT TO
HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE
WARNING SIGNALS. 
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE OUTER RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION, THERE WILL STILL BE OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS AND SQUALLS NEAR THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY.
