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 5 A.M., TYPHOON DANAS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 410
KILOMETRES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.2 DEGREES
NORTH 118.0 DEGREES EAST). IT IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTH
SLOWLY AT FIRST, AND TRACK NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES
PER HOUR LATER IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE WESTERN
COAST OF TAIWAN TO THE VICINITY OF TAIWAN STRAIT.

 

DANAS INTENSIFIED AND MOVED SLOWLY OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST FEW HOURS. DANAS
WILL STILL MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF AROUND 400 KILOMETRES
FROM HONG KONG THIS MORNING (6 JULY). THE STANDBY SIGNAL,
NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE AT LEAST UNTIL NOON TODAY.
ACCORDING TO THE FORECAST TRACK, DANAS WILL THEN ACCELERATE
NORTHEASTWARDS IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE WESTERN
COAST OF TAIWAN TO THE VICINITY OF TAIWAN STRAIT, DEPARTING
FROM HONG KONG GRADUALLY. WHEN DANAS NO LONGER POSES A
THREAT TO HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS.
 
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT HONG KONG TODAY
AND MAY TRIGGER SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. IT WILL
STILL BE VERY HOT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
 
THERE ARE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS,
AND SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION
ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.
