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 9 P.M., SEVERE TROPICAL STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 730 KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 18.8
DEGREES NORTH 108.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTH SLOWLY SKIRTING THE WESTERN COAST OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WUTIP ARE AFFECTING THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG. WUTIP IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS BEIBU
WAN TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING (14 JUNE), MAINTAINING A
DISTANCE OF 500 KILOMETRES OR ABOVE FROM HONG KONG FOR MOST
OF THE TIME. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE
AT LEAST UNTIL NOON TOMORROW.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, WUTIP WILL TURN
NORTHEASTWARDS GRADUALLY. IT WILL MAKE LANDFALL NEAR
LEIZHOU PENINSULA DURING THE DAY TOMORROW AND THEN MOVE
ACROSS THE VICINITY OF THE GUANGDONG-GUANGXI BOUNDARY. THE
ASSOCIATED STRONG WINDS MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO BEGIN
AFFECTING THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY GRADUALLY
LATER TOMORROW. THERE WILL ALSO BE SQUALLY SHOWERS OVER THE
REGION. DEPENDING ON WUTIP’S INTENSITY, ITS 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 TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
 
WITH THE GRADUAL WEAKENING OF WUTIP OVER INLAND AREAS,
LOCAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MODERATE PROGRESSIVELY LATER ON
SUNDAY (15 JUNE).
 
THERE ARE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
