SUPER TYPHOON KRATHON HAS ENTERED WITHIN 800 KILOMETRES OF
HONG KONG. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, IT WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT AND ENTER THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, THEN GRADUALLY TRACK NORTHWARDS
TOMORROW (1 OCTOBER). IT WILL MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE
SOUTHERN PART OF TAIWAN ON WEDNESDAY (2 OCTOBER), THEN MOVE
ACROSS TAIWAN, MAINTAINING A DISTANCE OF OVER 500
KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. ITS DIRECT THREAT TO HONG KONG
IS NOT HIGH. HOWEVER, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ITS OUTER
SUBSIDING AIR, THE WEATHER WILL BE VERY HOT OVER SOUTHERN
CHINA TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE NORTHEAST MONSOON IS EXPECTED
TO REACH GUANGDONG TOMORROW. WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE
NORTH GRADUALLY AND IT WILL BE WINDY OVER THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. DEPENDING ON THE CHANGE IN LOCAL
WIND CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STRONG
MONSOON SIGNAL. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE MONSOON, THE
LOCAL WEATHER WILL BE MAINLY FINE AND DRY IN THE MIDDLE AND
LATTER PARTS OF THIS WEEK. IT WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER IN
THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT, WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES OF
ABOUT 22 DEGREES IN THE URBAN AREAS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
