ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, SUPER TYPHOON
MANGKHUT WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE VICINITY OF LUZON ON FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. ITS TRACK AND WIND STRENGTH NEAR THE CENTRE
MAY CHANGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE TERRAIN OF LUZON, BUT
IT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE CATEGORY OF SUPER TYPHOON
AFTER ENTERING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
STILL UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SUBSEQUENT TRACK OF MANGKHUT AND
ITS DISTANCE FROM HONG KONG, MANGKHUT’S EXTENSIVE
CIRCULATION WILL BRING SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATING WEATHER
TO HONG KONG ON SUNDAY WITH FREQUENT HEAVY SQUALLY SHOWERS.
SEAS WILL BE VERY ROUGH WITH SWELLS AND LOW-LYING AREAS MAY
BE AFFECTED BY STORM SURGE. PLEASE TAKE SUITABLE
PRECAUTIONS AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LATEST
INFORMATION ON MANGKHUT ISSUED BY THE OBSERVATORY.
