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.
 
AT 10 A.M., TROPICAL STORM RAGASA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
570 KILOMETRES WEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 21.5 DEGREES NORTH
108.7 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT ABOUT
18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR CROSSING THE COAST OF GUANGXI
TOWARDS THE NORTHERN PART OF VIETNAM AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

RAGASA IS MOVING AWAY GRADUALLY FROM HONG KONG AND IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN FURTHER. 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. THE THREAT POSED TO HONG KONG
BY RAGASA WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY. THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS AT 11:20 A.M.
AND ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL SHORTLY.
 
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL SQUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER HONG KONG TODAY. SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVIER IN SOME AREAS
AT FIRST. SEAS WILL BE ROUGH WITH 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
