PRESS WEATHER NO. 034 - TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING BULLETIN (SIGNAL NO. 1)

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 5 A.M., TYPHOON FUNG-WONG WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 560
KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.2 DEGREES NORTH
118.4 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTH AT ABOUT
12 KILOMETRES PER HOUR CROSSING THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, FUNG-WONG CONTINUED TO ADOPT A
NORTHERLY TRACK AND EDGED CLOSER TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG.
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OFFSHORE
LOCALLY TODAY (11 NOVEMBER), UP TO GALE FORCE ON HIGH
GROUND. HOWEVER, DUE TO TERRAIN SHELTERING EFFECT, THE
CHANCE OF HAVING PERSISTENT STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER THE
TERRITORY IS RELATIVELY LOW THIS MORNING. THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE BEFORE NOON TODAY.
 
FUNG-WONG IS EXPECTED TO BE CLOSEST TO HONG KONG BETWEEN
LATER TODAY TO OVERNIGHT, SKIRTING MORE THAN 400 KILOMETRES
TO THE EAST OF HONG KONG. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY CHANGE
OF FUNG-WONG AND 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 AND WEAKENING GRADUALLY.
 
THERE WILL BE 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. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
 
2. PEOPLE IN AREAS OF EXPOSED TO HIGH WINDS OR IN LOW-LYING
AREAS SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STRONG WINDS AND
FLOODING.
 
3. PEOPLE PLANNING TO VISIT GUANGDONG, MACAU, OUTLYING
ISLANDS OR REMOTE PARTS OF HONG KONG SHOULD NOTE THAT
CHANGES IN WEATHER MAY AFFECT YOUR TRIPS.
 
4. FISHING VESSELS AND LOW POWER VESSELS IN OPEN SEA SHOULD
SEEK SHELTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND BE SECURED PROPERLY
WITH MOORINGS.
 
5. LISTEN TO RADIO, WATCH TV OR BROWSE THE HONG KONG
OBSERVATORY'S WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.
