TYPHOON GAEMI WILL MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE COAST OF FUJIAN

MAKING LANDFALL OVER FUJIAN, ITS CIRCULATION WILL BE
RELATIVELY FAR FROM THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY AND THE CHANCE
OF ISSUING TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNAL IS RELATIVELY
LOW. MEANWHILE, A STRONG SOUTHWEST MONSOON IS AFFECTING THE
COAST OF GUANGDONG AND THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA. THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL IS NOW IN FORCE.
 
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOUTHWEST MONSOON, WINDS WILL BE
STRONG OFFSHORE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW, OCCASIONALLY REACHING
GALE FORCE ON HIGH GROUND AT FIRST. A FEW SHOWERS AND
SQUALLY THUNDERSTORMS WERE EXPECTED, WITH MORE SHOWERS AT
