TROPICAL CYCLONE BULLETIN
HERE IS THE LATEST TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING ISSUED BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY.
THE NO. 8 SOUTHWEST GALE OR STORM SIGNAL IS IN FORCE.
THIS MEANS THAT WINDS WITH MEAN SPEEDS OF 63 KILOMETRES PER HOUR OR MORE ARE EXPECTED FROM THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER.
AT 9 P.M., TROPICAL STORM PABUK WAS CENTRED ABOUT 90 KILOMETRES WEST OF THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY (NEAR 22.4 DEGREES NORTH 113.3 DEGREES EAST) AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST AT ABOUT 8 KILOMETRES PER HOUR INTO GUANGDONG.
CURRENT INFORMATION INDICATES THAT PABUK IS STARTING TO WEAKEN AFTER LANDFALL. WINDS OVER THE HONG KONG WATERS ARE ALSO DECREASING.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT HONG KONG WOULD NO LONGER BE UNDER THE THREAT OF GALE FORCE WINDS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, BY WHICH TIME THE NO.8 SIGNAL WOULD BE REPLACED BY THE STRONG WIND SIGNAL NO.3.
