A BAND OF THUNDERY SHOWERS TO THE NORTH OF HONG KONG IS

COUPLE OF HOURS. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ON THE
ALERT. MEANWHILE, A STRONG SOUTHWEST MONSOON IS AFFECTING
THE COAST OF GUANGDONG. THE STRONG MONSOON SIGNAL IS NOW IN
FORCE.
 
BESIDES, SEVERE TROPICAL STORM GAEMI WILL MOVE ACROSS
INLAND FUJIAN AND WEAKEN GRADUALLY, MAINTAINING A DISTANCE
