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 7 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 SHORTLY, 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
