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 10 A.M., TYPHOON DANAS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 440
KILOMETRES EAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.6 DEGREES NORTH 118.4
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 VICINITY OF TAIWAN
STRAIT TO THE WESTERN COAST OF TAIWAN.

 

THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT DANAS HAS STARTED TO SLIGHTLY
ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARDS IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE
VICINITY OF TAIWAN. HOWEVER, IT WILL STILL BE ABOUT 400 TO
500 KILOMETRES EAST OF HONG KONG IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE AT LEAST UNTIL
EARLY AFTERNOON TODAY. WHEN DANAS CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE
AWAY FROM HONG KONG STEADILY AND NO LONGER POSES A THREAT
TO THE TERRITORY, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS. 
 
THERE WILL STILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD
STAY ON THE ALERT, STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT
ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS. 
 
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT HONG KONG TODAY
AND MAY TRIGGER SHOWERS AND SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS. IT WILL
STILL BE VERY HOT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE
CHECKED.
 
2. THOSE WHO HAVE DUTIES DURING A TROPICAL CYCLONE SHOULD
NOW REMAIN ON CALL.
 
3. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
