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 10 A.M., TROPICAL STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
720 KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.1 DEGREES
NORTH 110.1 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST
AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
HAINAN ISLAND AND INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY. IT WILL THEN MOVE
TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF BEIBU WAN TO LEIZHOU PENINSULA.

 

SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WUTIP ARE AFFECTING THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG. MEANWHILE, UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF
THE BROAD CIRCULATION OF WUTIP AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE COAST OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, THERE WILL
STILL BE OCCASIONAL STRONG WINDS OVER PARTS OF HONG KONG
TODAY. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO.1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE FOR
MOST OF THE DAY TODAY.
 
WUTIP WILL MAKE LANDFALL OVER HAINAN ISLAND TOMORROW. LOCAL
WINDS WILL WEAKEN. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK,
WUTIP WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF SOUTHERN CHINA
AFTERWARDS, SLIGHTLY EDGING CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE
PEARL RIVER ESTUARY. THE SQUALLY HEAVY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED
WITH WUTIP WILL ALSO AFFECT THE REGION. IT IS EXPECTED THAT
WINDS MAY BE GENERALLY STRONG OVER THE TERRITORY ON
SATURDAY AND AT FIRST OF SUNDAY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
ASSESS TOMORROW THE NEED OF ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL,
NO. 3.
 
THERE ARE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
