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 11 P.M., TROPICAL STORM MAYSAK WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
590 KILOMETRES SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.2 DEGREES
NORTH 109.6 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST
OR NORTH-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 15 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS
HAINAN ISLAND AND ENTER BEIBU WAN AFTERWARDS.

 

MAYSAK IS MOVING ACROSS HAINAN ISLAND, SKIRTING AROUND 600
KILOMETRES TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG. THE OUTER
RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH MAYSAK ARE AFFECTING THE VICINITY
OF THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF
MAYSAK AND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEASTERN
CHINA, LOCAL WINDS WERE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE, UP TO
GALE FORCE OVER PARTS OF HIGH GROUND. 
 
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, MAYSAK WILL ENTER
BEIBU WAN IN THE SMALL HOURS ON SATURDAY (4 JULY), AND
DEPART FROM HONG KONG. LOCAL WEATHER WILL GRADUALLY BECOME
DOMINATED BY THE SOUTHEAST MONSOON ASSOCIATED WITH THE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL WIND
CONDITIONS, THE OBSERVATORY WILL THEN ISSUE THE STRONG
MONSOON SIGNAL, OR CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING
SIGNALS. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOUTHEAST MONSOON, IT
WILL STILL BE WINDY ON SATURDAY AND SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVY
AT TIMES, WITH THUNDERSTORMS, SQUALLS AND VIOLENT GUSTS.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD STAY ON THE ALERT.
 
THERE WILL BE SWELLS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO
STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE, NOT TO ENGAGE IN WATER
SPORTS, AND TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

 

(PRECAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH NO. 1 SIGNAL)
 
1. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DRAINS SHOULD BE CLEARED OF
OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
