TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)


CORRECTION TO PRESS WEATHER NO. 118


 

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 3 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 470
KILOMETRES SOUTH OF HONG KONG (NEAR 18.1 DEGREES NORTH
113.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST AT
ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU PENINSULA TO THE EASTERN PART OF
HAINAN ISLAND.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION
WILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 400 KILOMETRES OR MORE
FROM HONG KONG TODAY AND TOMORROW. UNLESS THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY
OR INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CHANCE OF GENERALLY
STRONG WINDS OVER THE TERRITORY WILL BE RELATIVELY LOW. THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE TODAY. IT IS
EXPECTED THAT THE OUTER RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE COAST OF
GUANGDONG TONIGHT. THERE WILL BE SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE TERRITORY TOMORROW. THERE WILL ALSO
BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY
FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
