TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN
 
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN ISSUED
BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
 
THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WAS ISSUED AT 8:20 A.M.
 
AT 8 A.M., TROPICAL STORM RAGASA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
540 KILOMETRES WEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.5 DEGREES NORTH
109.0 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT ABOUT
18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE VICINITY OF THE COAST OF
GUANGXI AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

RAGASA CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM HONG KONG WHILE
WEAKENING. MEANWHILE, A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS AFFECTING
THE COAST OF SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT
OF RAGASA AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE, LOCAL WINDS ARE
STILL OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND ON HIGH GROUND. WHEN
RAGASA NO LONGER POSES A THREAT TO HONG KONG, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS OR REPLACE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 BY THE STRONG
MONSOON SIGNAL.
 
LOCALLY, THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVIER IN SOME AREAS
AT FIRST AND SEAS WILL BE ROUGH WITH SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT
ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
