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 2 P.M., TROPICAL DEPRESSION WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 630 KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR
16.8 DEGREES NORTH 112.5 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 STILL
MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 600 TO 700 KILOMETRES FROM
HONG KONG TODAY (11 JUNE). STRONG WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED
GENERALLY OVER THE TERRITORY TODAY, BUT SQUALLY SHOWERS DUE
TO ITS ASSOCIATED OUTER RAINBANDS ARE OCCASIONALLY
AFFECTING THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND THE
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 TODAY AND TOMORROW. IT WILL THEN MOVE TOWARDS
THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA. DEPENDING ON ITS
INTENSITY, DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG AND THE CHANGE IN LOCAL
WIND CONDITION, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE NEED OF
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.
