THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS INTENSIFIED INTO
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. ACCORDING TO PRESENT FORECAST TRACK,
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL MOVE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION
OF THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PARTS OF VIETNAM, AND MAINTAIN A
DISTANCE OF ABOUT 800 KILOMETRES OR EVEN FURTHER FROM HONG
KONG MOST OF THE TIME, POSING NO SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO THE
TERRITORY. LOCALLY, IT WILL REMAIN VERY HOT WITH A FEW
SHOWERS TOMORROW, AND THERE WILL BE MORE SHOWERS IN THE
FOLLOWING COUPLE OF DAYS. UNDER THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE, OFFSHORE
WINDS WILL BE OCCASIONALLY FRESH AND WINDS ON HIGH GROUND
WILL BE OCCASIONALLY STRONG LATER TOMORROW. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF LATEST WEATHER BULLETINS.
