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 WAS ISSUED AT 12:40 A.M.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.
 
AT 1 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 780
KILOMETRES SOUTH OF HONG KONG (NEAR 15.3 DEGREES NORTH
113.8 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST
AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION WILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF OVER 700 KILOMETRES
FROM HONG KONG TODAY (11 JUNE). STRONG WINDS ARE NOT
EXPECTED GENERALLY OVER THE TERRITORY TODAY, BUT ITS
ASSOCIATED OUTER RAINBANDS WILL AFFECT THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN
IN FORCE THIS MORNING. THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED
TO INTENSIFY GRADUALLY AND MOVE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
HAINAN ISLAND IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WILL THEN MOVE
TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF THE COAST OF WESTERN GUANGDONG.
DEPENDING ON ITS INTENSITY, DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG AND THE
CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND STRENGTH, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS
THE NEED FOR ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 BETWEEN
LATER TOMORROW (12 JUNE) AND FRIDAY (13 JUNE). WITH THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE EDGING CLOSER TO THE COASTAL AREAS, IT
WILL BE WINDY WITH OCCASIONAL HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS IN THE
LATTER PART OF THIS WEEK. THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND
NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
