The Standby Signal No. 1 was issued at 2:20 p.m and will remain in force today.
This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about 800 kilometres of Hong Kong may affect Hong Kong.
At 2 p.m., the tropical depression over the central and northern parts of the South China Sea was estimated to be about 490 kilometres south of Hong Kong (near 17.9 degrees north 113.5 degrees east) and is forecast to move northwest at about 18 kilometres per hour in the general direction of the vicinity of Leizhou Peninsula to the eastern part of Hainan Island.
According to the present forecast, the tropical depression will maintain a distance of about 400 kilometres or more from Hong Kong today and tomorrow. Unless the tropical depression adopts a track closer to the Pearl River Estuary or intensifies significantly, the chance of generally strong winds over the territory will be relatively low.
The Standby Signal, No. 1 will remain in force today. It is expected that the outer rainbands associated with the tropical depression will begin to affect the coast of Guangdong tonight. There will be squally showers and thunderstorms over the territory tomorrow. There will also be swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.
