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 A.M., TROPICAL STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
730 KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 16.5
DEGREES NORTH 110.9 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF HAINAN ISLAND AND INTENSIFY GRADUALLY.
IT WILL THEN MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA
TO BEIBU WAN.

 

SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WUTIP ARE AFFECTING THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG. MEANWHILE, WUTIP IS CONSOLIDATING.
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF ITS BROAD CIRCULATION AND THE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE COAST OF SOUTHEASTERN
CHINA, THERE WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG EASTERLIES OVER
PARTS OF HONG KONG EARLY TODAY (12 JUNE). UNLESS WUTIP
INTENSIFIES RAPIDLY AND STRONG WINDS PREVAIL GENERALLY OVER
THE TERRITORY, THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN
FORCE THIS MORNING.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, ALTHOUGH LOCAL WINDS
WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY AT FIRST ON FRIDAY (13 JUNE), LOCAL
WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLIES GRADUALLY AFTERWARDS AND
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS. WINDS MAY
BE GENERALLY STRONG OVER THE TERRITORY. DEPENDING ON
WUTIP’S INTENSITY AT THAT TIME, 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 ON
FRIDAY.
 
THERE ARE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
 
2. PEOPLE IN AREAS OF EXPOSED TO HIGH WINDS OR IN LOW-LYING
AREAS SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STRONG WINDS AND
FLOODING.
 
3. FISHING VESSELS AND LOW POWER VESSELS IN OPEN SEA SHOULD
SEEK SHELTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND BE SECURED PROPERLY
WITH MOORINGS.
 
4. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
