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 midnight, the tropical storm Tapah was estimated to be about 450 kilometres south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 18.4 degrees north 115.3 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour, edging closer to the western coast of Guangdong and intensifying gradually. In the past few hours, Tapah moved west-northwest steadily. Its strong winds are expected to affect the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary gradually on Sunday (7 September). The Observatory will issue the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 at 2:40 a.m. on Sunday. According to the present forecast, Tapah will intensify gradually and skirt around 200 kilometres to the southwest of Hong Kong on Monday (8 September) morning. However, its circulation will be relatively small. Depending on the rate of intensification and its closest distance to Hong Kong, the Observatory will assess the need to issue higher tropical cyclone warning signals on Sunday night. Locally, winds are expected to strengthen gradually and showers will become more frequent on Sunday. There will be heavy squally showers on Monday 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 now. 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 now. 3. Those who have duties during a tropical cyclone should now remain on call. 4. People planning to visit Guangdong, Macau, outlying islands or remote parts of Hong Kong should note that changes in weather may affect your trips. 5. Fishing vessels and low power vessels in open sea should seek shelter as soon as possible and be secured properly with moorings. 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.
