HKO to assess need for tropical cyclone signal early next week

The Observatory says it will assess the need of issuing tropical cyclone

warning signals early next week.

A broad trough of low pressure will affect the coast of southern China

persistently in the next few days.

The weather will be unsettled over the region.

Tropical Cyclone Narra is expected to linger over the vicinity of Beibu Wan

tomorrow. It will have higher chance to turn east to northeastwards

gradually in the following couple of days, edging closer to the vicinity of

Leizhou Peninsula and the coast of western Guangdong.

It will be windier with occasional heavy showers and squally thunderstorms

over the coast of Guangdong early to midweek next week.

Besides, the tropical cyclone in the vicinity of the Ryukyu Islands

will move towards the coast of eastern China today and tomorrow.
