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.
 
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA WAS NAMED AS WUTIP. AT 10 A.M., WUTIP WAS
ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 680 KILOMETRES SOUTH OF HONG KONG
(NEAR 16.2 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, IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, WUTIP WILL
MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 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 FOR MOST OF THE TIME TODAY. WUTIP 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 WUTIP 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.
