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 7 A.M., SEVERE TROPICAL STORM WUTIP WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 600 KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.0
DEGREES NORTH 108.9 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTH OR NORTH-NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR
MOVING ACROSS BEIBU WAN AND TOWARDS LEIZHOU PENINSULA.

 

WUTIP IS MOVING ACROSS BEIBU WAN. ITS OUTER CIRCULATION IS
BRINGING SQUALLY SHOWERS TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. WUTIP 
IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 500 KILOMETRES 
FROM HONG KONG THIS MORNING. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL
REMAIN IN FORCE AT LEAST UNTIL NOON TODAY.
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, WUTIP WILL MAKE
LANDFALL AGAIN NEAR LEIZHOU PENINSULA DURING THE DAY TODAY
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 TODAY. 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 THIS AFTERNOON.
 
WITH THE GRADUAL WEAKENING OF WUTIP OVER INLAND AREAS,
LOCAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MODERATE PROGRESSIVELY LATER
TOMORROW (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
