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.
 
THIS MEANS THAT A TROPICAL CYCLONE NOW CENTRED WITHIN ABOUT
800 KILOMETRES OF HONG KONG MAY AFFECT US.
 
AT 1 P.M., TYPHOON FUNG-WONG WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 740
KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.3 DEGREES NORTH
118.9 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST AT
ABOUT 12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR CROSSING THE NORTHEASTERN PART
OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

FUNG-WONG IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF OVER 600
KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG TODAY (10 NOVEMBER). THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE BEFORE NOON TOMORROW (11
NOVEMBER).
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, FUNG-WONG WILL TURN
NORTHWARDS GRADUALLY OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA, AND WILL BE CLOSEST TO HONG KONG BETWEEN
TOMORROW NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY (12 NOVEMBER) AT FIRST,
SKIRTING ABOUT 400 KILOMETRES OR MORE TO THE EAST OF HONG
KONG. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY CHANGE OF FUNG-WONG, ITS
DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG, THE IMPACT OF THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON ON FUNG-WONG, AND LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE NEED FOR ISSUING THE STRONG
WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 OR THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL. FUNG-WONG
WILL THEN MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF TAIWAN, DEPARTING
FROM HONG KONG PROGRESSIVELY AND WEAKENING GRADUALLY UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON.
 
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF FUNG-WONG AND THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON, THE WATER LEVEL OVER THE COAST OF HONG KONG WILL
BE GENERALLY ABOUT 0.5 METRES HIGHER THAN NORMAL DURING THE
HIGH TIDE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN SOME
LOW-LYING COASTAL AREAS IN THE SMALL HOURS. THE WATER LEVEL
AT VICTORIA HARBOUR WILL RISE TO AROUND 3 METRES ABOVE
CHART DATUM. THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
ARE ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO
ENGAGE IN WATER SPORTS.
