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 MIDNIGHT, SEVERE TROPICAL STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO
BE ABOUT 670 KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR
19.1 DEGREES NORTH 108.7 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO
MOVE NORTH OR NORTH-NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 15 KILOMETRES PER
HOUR MOVING ACROSS THE COASTAL AREAS OF THE WESTERN PART OF
HAINAN ISLAND.

 

WUTIP HAS MADE LANDFALL OVER THE WESTERN COAST OF HAINAN
ISLAND. ITS ASSOCIATED SQUALLY SHOWERS ARE AFFECTING THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG. WUTIP IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A
DISTANCE OF ABOUT 500 KILOMETRES OR ABOVE FROM HONG KONG
FOR MOST OF THE TIME ON SATURDAY MORNING (14 JUNE). THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE AT LEAST UNTIL
NOON ON SATURDAY.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, WUTIP WILL MAKE
LANDFALL AGAIN NEAR LEIZHOU PENINSULA DURING THE DAY ON
SATURDAY 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 ON SATURDAY. 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 ON SATURDAY
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.

 

(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
