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 NOON, SEVERE TROPICAL STORM FUNG-WONG WAS ESTIMATED TO
BE ABOUT 510 KILOMETRES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR
19.8 DEGREES NORTH 118.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO
MOVE NORTH AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR CROSSING THE
NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

 

IN THE PAST FEW HOURS, FUNG-WONG WEAKENED SLIGHTLY. THE
CHANCE OF HAVING PERSISTENT STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER THE
TERRITORY IS RELATIVELY LOW TODAY. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO.
1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE DURING THE DAY TODAY. BESIDES, THE
OUTER RAINBANDS OF FUNG-WONG ARE EDGING CLOSER TO THE
VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY GRADUALLY. LOCALLY,
THERE WILL BE ONE OR TWO LIGHT RAIN PATCHES. 
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, FUNG-WONG WILL SKIRT
MORE THAN 400 KILOMETRES TO THE EAST OF HONG KONG OVERNIGHT
TODAY. MEANWHILE, LOCAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BE DOMINATED
BY THE NORTHEAST MONSOON GRADUALLY. WHEN FUNG-WONG NO
LONGER POSES A THREAT TO HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
REPLACE THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 BY THE STRONG MONSOON
SIGNAL OR CANCEL 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.
