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 IS IN FORCE.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.
 
AT 7 A.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 750
KILOMETRES SOUTH OF HONG KONG (NEAR 15.6 DEGREES NORTH
113.4 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST
AT ABOUT 12 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 ARE AFFECTING THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND COAST OF GUANGDONG. 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
