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 11 A.M., TYPHOON KAJIKI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 640
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.4 DEGREES
NORTH 110.9 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT
ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE SEAS SOUTH OF
HAINAN ISLAND.

 

AS KAJIKI MOVES FURTHER AWAY FROM HONG KONG, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS AT 12:10 P.M. AND ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL
SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. 
 
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA AND KAJIKI, LOCAL WINDS WILL BE
OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH GROUND AT FIRST
TODAY. THERE WILL BE A FEW SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, AS WELL AS SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE
ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE
IN WATER SPORTS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. STRONG WINDS ARE STILL BLOWING OVER OFFSHORE WATERS.
SMALL VESSELS SHOULD REMAIN IN SHELTER AND PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD NOT YET BE RELAXED.
 
2. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
