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 5 P.M., TYPHOON CEMPAKA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 210
KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.6 DEGREES
NORTH 112.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST-NORTHWEST SLOWLY, GRADUALLY EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST
OF WESTERN GUANGDONG.

 

CEMPAKA WILL MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE WESTERN COAST OF
GUANGDONG IN A SHORT TIME, AND WILL MOVE GRADUALLY AWAY
FROM HONG KONG AND WEAKEN. IT WILL NO LONGER POSE A THREAT
TO THE TERRITORY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. 
 
CEMPAKA STILL BRINGS OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS TO THE
TERRITORY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD REMAIN ON THE ALERT.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. SEA STATE OVER OFFSHORE WATERS IS STILL ROUGH AND THERE
ARE SWELLS. YOU ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN STAYING AWAY FROM THE
SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
