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 8 A.M., TROPICAL STORM DANAS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
410 KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 20.2 DEGREES
NORTH 117.4 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST
OR NORTH-NORTHWEST SLOWLY, LINGERING OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND INTENSIFYING GRADUALLY.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, DANAS WILL MOVE SLOWLY
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND SKIRT
AROUND 400 KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG FOR THE REST
OF TODAY AND TOMORROW MORNING (6 JULY). DANAS IS EXPECTED
TO ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARDS AFTERWARDS IN THE GENERAL
DIRECTION OF THE WESTERN COAST OF TAIWAN TO THE VICINITY OF
TAIWAN STRAIT. THE CIRCULATION OF DANAS IS RELATIVELY
SMALL. UNLESS IT INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY AND ADOPTS A
TRACK CLOSER TO THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, THERE WILL NOT BE
STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER THE TERRITORY. THE CHANCE OF
ISSUING HIGHER TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS IS RATHER
LOW. 
 
THE LOCAL WEATHER WILL BE VERY HOT TODAY AND TOMORROW.
TEMPERATURES OVER PARTS OF THE TERRITORY WILL REACH 35
DEGREES OR ABOVE. MEANWHILE, HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO
TRIGGER SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. 
 
THERE ARE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS,
AND TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION
ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.
