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., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE VICINITY OF
HAINAN ISLAND WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 440 KILOMETRES
SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.1 DEGREES NORTH 110.7
DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 18
KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF LEIZHOU
PENINSULA.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS SKIRTING AROUND 400 KILOMETRES
TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG. IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL OVER LEIZHOU PENINSULA. SQUALLY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION ARE AFFECTING THE COAST OF
GUANGDONG. LOCALLY, WINDS WERE OCCASIONALLY STRONG ON HIGH
GROUND. 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 THIS MORNING.
LOCALLY, THERE WILL BE SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE
ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE
IN WATER SPORTS.
