As Severe Tropical Storm Matmo will soon enter within 800 kilometres of Hong Kong later today, the Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal. No. 1 tonight.
It added tropical cyclone warning signals may be upgraded during the day tomorrow, depending on the distance between Matmo and the Pearl River Estuary, and its intensity and change in local wind conditions.
Weather is expected to be windy with squally showers over coast of southern China over the weekend.
A scorching hot day precedes the approach of Matmo. An anticyclone aloft is bringing generally fine and very hot weather to southern China.
The weather forecast said Severe Tropical Storm Matmo was centred about 270 kilometers north-northeast of Manila. It is forecast to move west-northwest at about 25 kilometres per hour across Luzon.
The Observatory said Matmo will move across the central and northern parts of the South China Sea in the next few days in the general direction of the vicinity of Leizhou Peninsula to the eastern part of Hainan Island and intensify gradually.
It added that Matmo's intensity is uncertain.
