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 8 A.M., TYPHOON FUNG-WONG WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 540
KILOMETRES SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.5 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, EDGING CLOSER TO THE COAST OF GUANGDONG.
THERE WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OFFSHORE
TODAY, REACHING 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. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE DURING
THE DAY 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. IT WILL THEN MOVE TOWARDS THE
VICINITY OF TAIWAN, DEPARTING FROM HONG KONG AND WEAKENING
GRADUALLY. UNLESS FUNG-WONG ADOPTS A TRACK CLOSER TO THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG, THE CHANCE OF ISSUING THE STRONG WIND
SIGNAL, NO. 3 IS RELATIVELY LOW. WITH FUNG-WONG DEPARTING,
LOCAL WEATHER WILL THEN BE DOMINATED BY THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON. DEPENDING ON THE CHANGE IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS,
THE OBSERVATORY WILL THEN CONSIDER REPLACING THE STANDBY
SIGNAL, NO. 1 BY THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL, OR CANCELLING
ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS.
 
THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO
STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE AND NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER
SPORTS.

1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
