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., THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 570
KILOMETRES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 17.8 DEGREES
NORTH 111.6 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST
OR NORTH-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 18 KILOMETRES PER HOUR TOWARDS
THE VICINITY OF HAINAN ISLAND.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT FORECAST TRACK, THE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION WILL EDGE GRADUALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST OF
SOUTHERN CHINA THIS MORNING, BUT WILL STILL MAINTAIN A
DISTANCE OF OVER 500 KILOMETRES FROM HONG KONG. LOCALLY,
THE WINDS MAY PICK UP IN THE MORNING, BUT THE CHANCE OF
HAVING STRONG WINDS GENERALLY IS RELATIVELY LOW. THE
STANDBY SIGNAL, NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN FORCE FOR SOME TIME
THIS MORNING. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LATEST WEATHER
BULLETIN BEFORE DEPARTING THIS MORNING.
 
THE RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE COAST OF GUANGDONG TODAY, AND WILL
BRING OCCASIONAL SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS AND SQUALLS TO THE
REGION.
