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 1 P.M., TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAIKUI WAS ESTIMATED TO BE
ABOUT 280 KILOMETRES EAST-NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG (NEAR 23.5
DEGREES NORTH 116.6 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WEST AT ABOUT 10 KILOMETRES PER HOUR ACROSS THE EASTERN
PART OF INLAND GUANGDONG AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY.

 

ALTHOUGH THE CHANCE OF HAVING STRONG WINDS GENERALLY OVER
HONG KONG IS RELATIVELY LOW, THERE WOULD STILL BE
OCCASIONAL STRONG WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OF EASTERN
GUANGDONG AT FIRST. THE STANDBY SIGNAL NO. 1 WILL REMAIN IN
FORCE FOR SOME TIME. WHEN HAIKUI NO LONGER POSES A THREAT
TO HONG KONG, THE OBSERVATORY WILL CANCEL ALL TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS. THE RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH
HAIKUI WILL AFFECT THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CHINA IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.
