HOURLY READINGS


 

AT 7 A.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE
WAS 27 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 89 PER
CENT.

 

SUPER TYPHOON RAGASA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LUZON STRAIT AND
ENTER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA TODAY (22
SEPTEMBER). THE CIRCULATION OF RAGASA IS EXTENSIVE AND ITS
SPEED OF MOVEMENT IS RELATIVELY HIGH. IT WILL POSE A
CONSIDERABLE THREAT TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 AT 12:20
P.M. TODAY.
 
WITH RAGASA GRADUALLY EDGING CLOSER, LOCAL WINDS WILL
STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY TOMORROW (23 SEPTEMBER), AND WEATHER
WILL DETERIORATE RAPIDLY LATER. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CONSIDER ISSUING THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 BETWEEN 8
P.M. AND 10 P.M. TONIGHT. IT IS EXPECTED THAT GALE TO STORM
FORCE WINDS WILL PREVAIL LOCALLY ON WEDNESDAY (24
SEPTEMBER), AND WINDS MAY REACH HURRICANE FORCE OFFSHORE
AND ON HIGH GROUND. THE WEATHER WILL BE ADVERSE WITH HEAVY
SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SEAS WILL BE VERY HIGH
WITH SWELLS. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SIGNIFICANT STORM
SURGE, THE SEA LEVEL OVER COASTAL AREAS BY THEN MAY BE
SIMILAR TO THAT OF HATO IN 2017 AND MANGKHUT IN 2018.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASE BE WELL PREPARED FOR HIGH
WINDS AND FLOODING, AND TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER
INFORMATION FROM THE OBSERVATORY.

 

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:

 

THE VERY HOT WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN FORCE. THE PUBLIC
SHOULD BEWARE OF HEAT STROKE AND DRINK MORE WATER.
