TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN ISSUED

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 P.M., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 680 KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR
16.6 DEGREES NORTH 111.8 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO
MOVE WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 22 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE SEAS SOUTH OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IS DEPARTING FROM HONG KONG
GRADUALLY, MOVING TOWARDS THE SEAS SOUTH OF HAINAN ISLAND.
LOCAL WEATHER IS BEING FURTHER DOMINATED BY THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE COAST OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS AT 6:10 P.M. AND ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL
SHORTLY AFTERWARDS.  
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE, LOCAL
