Description

Under the influence of extremely hot weather and prolonged heat, members of the public should stay on the alert, drink more water and take all necessary protective measures against the heat to prevent discomforts caused by very hot weather, and pay due attention to physical conditions. If symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath or confusion develop, take rest and seek help immediately, and seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Instruction

Elderly persons, pregnant women, infants and children, those with chronic illnesses, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, as well as the obese are more vulnerable to heat stroke. Watch out for any symptoms of heat stroke. Under extremely hot weather, beware of health conditions, ensure adequate rest, maintain normal body temperature, and avoid overheating of the body. When engaged in work under hot weather or high-temperature environments, please refer to the Guidance Notes on Prevention of Heat Stroke at Work of the Labour Department and take necessary precautions. When engaged in outdoor activities, drink more water and avoid over exertion. If not feeling well, take a rest in the shade or cooler place as soon as possible. Perform outdoor activities in the morning or late afternoon as far as possible. Under extremely hot weather, vigorous physical activities should be avoided. During indoor activities, replenish water timely. If there is no air-conditioning, then windows should be kept open and fans be used as far as possible to maintain adequate indoor ventilation. Public facilities with heat sheltering may also be used. Avoid prolonged exposure under sunlight. Light-coloured and air-permeable clothing, a wide-brimmed hat that covers the back of your neck and ultraviolet (UV) blocking sunglasses can reduce the chance of sunburn by solar UV radiation. Choose a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen product with a sun protective factor (SPF) of 30 or higher when doing outdoor activities and apply liberally; reapply every two hours if you need to stay outdoors for a prolonged period, or after swimming, sweating or towelling off. Beware of health and wellbeing of elderly or persons with chronic medical conditions. If you know of them, call or visit them occasionally and check whether their household ventilation and air-conditioning devices function properly. Those more vulnerable to heat stroke should avoid outdoor activities and stay away from hot environment as far as possible. Stay in cool, well-ventilated or air-conditioned places.

Description

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 noon, the tropical depression over the central and northern parts of the South China Sea was estimated to be about 560 kilometres south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 17.9 degrees north 116.8 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 12 kilometres per hour, intensifying progressively and edging closer to the western coast of Guangdong. The circulation of the tropical depression is relatively small at the moment. Its associated strong winds still maintain quite some distance from the coast of Guangdong. The Standby Signal, No. 1 will remain in force today. According to the present forecast, the tropical depression will intensify progressively and edge closer to the western coast of Guangdong. Depending on the intensity of the tropical cyclone, the distance of its strong winds from Hong Kong, and the change in local wind conditions, the Observatory will assess the need for issuing the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 at first tomorrow (7 September). Locally, it will be extremely hot in the afternoon today with a maximum temperature of around 35 degrees in the urban areas, and temperatures could reach 38 or 39 degrees over the northern part of the New Territories. With the tropical cyclone edging closer, local winds will strengthen gradually and showers will become more frequent tomorrow. There will be heavy squally showers on Monday (8 September), and it will be windy at first. Seas will be rough with swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports. Due to storm surge, flooding may occur over parts of the low-lying coastal areas on Monday morning.

Instruction

1. Precautions should be taken. Drains should be cleared of obstructions, and windows and doors should be checked. 2. People in areas of exposed to high winds or in low-lying areas should take precautions against strong winds and flooding. 3. People planning to visit Guangdong, Macau, outlying islands or remote parts of Hong Kong should note that changes in weather may affect your trips. 4. Fishing vessels and low power vessels in open sea should seek shelter as soon as possible and be secured properly with moorings. 5. Construction and property management practitioners should make sure that overhanging facilities and temporary structures outdoors are securely fastened, and should take precautionary measures. 6. Listen to radio, watch TV or browse the Hong Kong Observatory's website and mobile app for the latest information on the tropical cyclone.
