ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, TROPICAL CYCLONE
NESAT WILL ENTER THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA TOMORROW (16 OCTOBER) AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE, AN INTENSE
REPLENISHMENT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON WILL REACH SOUTHERN
CHINA. HONG KONG IS EXPECTED TO MAINLY COME UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON, WHILE NESAT WILL KEEP A
DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 400 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG AND ITS
DIRECT THREAT TO THE TERRITORY IS NOT HIGH. LOCALLY, IT
WILL BE WINDY EARLY TO MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK. THE OBSERVATORY

THURSDAY (20 OCTOBER), WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND
19 DEGREES. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE REMINDED OF THE
