HOURLY READINGS

 

AT MIDNIGHT AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR
TEMPERATURE WAS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY 70 PER CENT.

 

MITAG IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY GRADUALLY AND EDGE CLOSER TO
THE COAST OF EASTERN GUANGDONG. THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE
THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 BETWEEN 9 A.M. AND 11 A.M.
THIS MORNING.

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST,  TROPICAL CYCLONE RAGASA
WILL INTENSIFY SIGNIFICANTLY AND MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY
OF LUZON STRAIT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND IT MAY REACH
SUPER TYPHOON INTENSITY. IT WILL ENTER THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA EARLY NEXT WEEK, AND THEN EDGE CLOSER
TO THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ITS
EXTENSIVE CIRCULATION, THE WEATHER WILL DETERIORATE
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE REGION MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK. WINDS WILL
STRENGTHEN AGAIN WITH HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SEAS WILL BE VERY ROUGH WITH SWELLS. AS THE
STORM SURGE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT THEN, THERE MAY BE FLOODING
OVER THE COASTAL AREAS.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE TROPICAL CYCLONE SIGNAL NO. 1 HAS BEEN ISSUED.
