THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 IS IN FORCE.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT

AT NOON, TROPICAL STORM PODUL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 300
KILOMETRES NORTH OF HONG KONG (NEAR 25.0 DEGREES NORTH
114.2 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST

WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

PODUL CONTINUES TO DEPART FROM HONG KONG AND WEAKEN. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
