Tropical Cyclone Bulletin
Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.
The Standby Signal, No. 1 is in force.
This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about 800 kilometres of Hong Kong may affect us.
At noon, Severe Tropical Storm Nock-ten was estimated to be about 510 kilometres south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 18.1 degrees north 116.1 degrees east) and is forecast to intensify gradually and move west-northwest at about 20 kilometres per hour in the general direction towards the area of western Guangdong and Hainan Island.
Nock-ten continued to track west-northwest steadily across the northern part of the South China Sea this morning.
According to the present forecast track, Nock-ten will edge closer towards the south China coast, local winds are expected to strenghten tonight. The Observatory will consider issuing the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 around this evening.
