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 STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
730 KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.1 DEGREES
NORTH 109.9 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. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF ITS BROAD
CIRCULATION AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, LOCAL WINDS ARE OCCASIONALLY STRONG
OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH GROUND. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL
REMAIN IN FORCE TODAY.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, WUTIP WILL MAKE LANDFALL
OVER HAINAN ISLAND TOMORROW. LOCAL WINDS WILL ALSO WEAKEN.
HOWEVER, AS WUTIP MOVES ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF SOUTHERN
CHINA AND EDGES SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE
PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, STRONG WINDS MAY GENERALLY PREVAIL
OVER HONG KONG ON SATURDAY AND AT FIRST ON SUNDAY. WINDS
MAY BE OCCASIONALLY UP TO GALE FORCE ON HIGH GROUND. THE
HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WUTIP WILL ALSO
AFFECT THE REGION. 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.

 

(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. PEOPLE PLANNING TO VISIT GUANGDONG, MACAU, OUTLYING
ISLANDS OR REMOTE PARTS OF HONG KONG SHOULD NOTE THAT
CHANGES IN WEATHER MAY AFFECT YOUR TRIPS.
 
4. CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS

STRUCTURES OUTDOORS ARE SECURELY FASTENED, AND SHOULD TAKE
