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.
 
TROPICAL STORM SAUDEL HAS WEAKENED INTO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION.
 
AT 2 P.M., SAUDEL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 320 KILOMETRES
NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 24.3 DEGREES NORTH 116.4
DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT ABOUT 12
KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS OF EASTERN
GUANGDONG AND CONTINUE TO WEAKEN.

 

UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF SAUDEL AND THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON, LOCAL WINDS ARE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE AND
ON HIGH GROUND. THE STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN
FORCE TODAY.
 
SAUDEL IS MOVING ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS OF EASTERN
GUANGDONG. SAUDEL IS EXPECTED TO EDGE CLOSER TO THE
VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY TOMORROW (4 SEPTEMBER),
BUT WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF
SAUDEL WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY, THE
DISTANCE OF ITS ASSOCIATED STRONG WINDS FROM THE PEARL
RIVER ESTUARY AND THE CHANGES IN LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS, THE
OBSERVATORY WILL ASSESS THE NEED FOR ISSUING THE STRONG
WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY
ATTENTION TO THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION ISSUED BY THE
OBSERVATORY.
