Tropical Cyclone Affection Notice:

Tropical Cyclone BulletinHere is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.

The No. 8 Northeast 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 northeast quarter.

At 9 p.m., Typhoon Hagupit was centred about 190 kilometres south of Hong Kong (near 20.6 degrees north 114.0 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 28 kilometres per hour heading towards the western coast of Guangdong.

Owing to the combined effect of Hagupit and high tide, flooding is expected overnight in low lying areas including Sheung Wan.

According to its present track, Hagupit will be closest to Hong Kong in the next few hours, skirting to the south of Hong Kong within 200 kilometres. Local winds are expected to gradually turn to the east which may cause some places orginally sheltered to become exposed to the winds. Members of the public should pay attention. The No.8 Gale or Storm Signal is expected to be in force throughout the overnight period.

In the past hour, the maximum sustained wind speeds recorded at Cheung Chau and Sai Kung were 87 and 71 kilometres per hour respectively.

(Precautionary Announcements with No. 8 Signal)

1. Complete all precautions in your home. Lock all windows and doors, fit bars into position and insert reinforced shutters and gates if they are available. Adhesive tape fixed to large window-panes in exposed positions will reduce damage by broken glass. Storm water drains should be cleared of leaves and rubbish.

2. Park your car where it is least likely to be damaged.

3. Do not stand near windows on the exposed side of your home. Move all furniture and valuables away from these areas. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter, should windows be broken.

4. Since seas are very rough and there are swells, you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.

5. Owners of neon signs are reminded that they should now arrange for the electricity supply to their signs to be cut off.

6. Please listen to your radio or watch your TV for the latest weather information broadcast at the 15th, 30th, 45th and 58th minute of each hour. You can also browse the Hong Kong Observatory’s web site for the information.
