According to the present forecast, Tropical Cyclone Podul will enter within 800 kilometres of Hong Kong tomorrow morning (13 August). The Observatory will issue the Standby Signal, No. 1 by then. 

Depending on the distance between Podul and the Pearl River Estuary, its intensity and the change in local winds, the Observatory will assess the need of issuing higher Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals later tomorrow to early Thursday.

Under the influence of the outer subsiding air of Podul, it will be hot during the day tomorrow over Guangdong. Heat triggered showers will also affect the region later tomorrow. 

With Podul making landfall over the vicinity of eastern Guangdong to southern Fujian on Thursday (14 August), its associated rain band will be rather close to the coast of Guangdong.

There will be squally heavy showers and thunderstorms occasionally on Thursday over the territory.
