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 3 P.M., TROPICAL DEPRESSION SAUDEL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 310 KILOMETRES NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 24.4
DEGREES NORTH 116.2 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.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST, SAUDEL WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE INLAND AREAS OF EASTERN GUANGDONG TONIGHT AND AT FIRST
TOMORROW, EDGING CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE PEARL RIVER
ESTUARY. HOWEVER, IT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN RELATIVELY
QUICKLY. THE CHANCE OF STRONG WINDS PREVAILING GENERALLY
OVER HONG KONG IS NOT HIGH. THE CHANCE OF ISSUING THE
STRONG WIND SIGNAL, NO. 3 IS RATHER LOW. WHEN SAUDEL
WEAKENS INTO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE, THE OBSERVATORY WILL
CANCEL ALL TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS.
 
UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF SAUDEL AND THE NORTHEAST
MONSOON, LOCAL WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE
AND ON HIGH GROUND TONIGHT AND AT FIRST TOMORROW.

OBSTRUCTIONS, AND WINDOWS AND DOORS SHOULD BE CHECKED.
