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 6 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 470
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 18.3 DEGREES
NORTH 112.8 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST
AT ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF
THE VICINITY OF THE EASTERN PART OF HAINAN ISLAND TO
LEIZHOU PENINSULA.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION
WILL SKIRT AROUND 400 KILOMETRES TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HONG
KONG TOMORROW MORNING. IT WILL THEN MAKE LANDFALL OVER
LEIZHOU PENINSULA. UNLESS THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION ADOPTS A
TRACK CLOSER TO THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY OR INTENSIFIES
SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CHANCE OF SUSTAINED STRONG WINDS
GENERALLY OVER THE TERRITORY WILL BE RELATIVELY LOW. THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW MORNING. THE SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ARE EXPECTED TO EDGE CLOSER TO THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG GRADUALLY TONIGHT. LOCALLY, THERE WILL
BE MORE SHOWERS WITH THUNDERSTORMS 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.
