TROPICAL CYCLONE NESAT ENTERED THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA THIS MORNING. BESIDES, A REPLENISHMENT OF
THE NORTHEAST MONSOON REACHED SOUTHERN CHINA. ACCORDING TO
THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK, NESAT WILL EDGE CLOSER TO THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG TOMORROW (17 OCTOBER) AT A DISTANCE OF
AROUND 400 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. AS COMPARED WITH THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST, NESAT WILL BE CLOSER TO THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY AND WILL ALSO BE MORE INTENSE. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 TONIGHT. UNDER
THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON AND NESAT, IT
WILL BE WINDY OVER THE TERRITORY IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE STRONG OFFSHORE, REACHING GALE
FORCE ON HIGH GROUND. PEOPLE ENGAGED IN OUTDOOR WORK, WATER
SPORTS OR HIKING SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF WEATHER CHANGES. THE
WEATHER WILL BE COOLER ON TUESDAY (18 OCTOBER) AND
WEDNESDAY (19 OCTOBER), WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND
19 DEGREES IN THE URBAN AREAS, AND A COUPLE OF DEGREES
LOWER IN THE NEW TERRITORIES. THE OBSERVATORY WILL CLOSELY
MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NESAT.
