TRACK, THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY WILL CONSIDER ISSUING THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 TONIGHT. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF
THE NORTHEAST MONSOON AND SARIKA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS, IT WILL BE WINDIER IN THE SOUTH CHINA COAST. THE
WEATHER WILL ALSO DETERIORATE WITH SQUALLY SHOWERS. THE
PUBLIC SHOULD REMAIN VIGILANT AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS AS EARLY
AS POSSIBLE.
