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 2 A.M., TROPICAL STORM MAYSAK WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
600 KILOMETRES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 19.8
DEGREES NORTH 109.1 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
NORTHWEST OR NORTH-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 15 KILOMETRES PER
HOUR CROSSING BEIBU WAN.

 

THE OUTER RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH MAYSAK ARE BRINGING
SQUALLY SHOWERS TO 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. 
 
MAYSAK HAS ENTERED BEIBU WAN, AND STARTED TO DEPART FROM
HONG KONG. WHEN THE LOCAL WEATHER BECOMES DOMINATED BY THE
SOUTHEAST MONSOON ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE, THE OBSERVATORY WILL ISSUE THE STRONG MONSOON
SIGNAL, OR CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS
DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS. UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF THE SOUTHEAST MONSOON, IT WILL STILL BE WINDY TODAY 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.
 
2. PEOPLE IN AREAS OF EXPOSED TO HIGH WINDS OR IN LOW-LYING
