    Bulletin issued at 00:30 HKT 02/Oct/2019


    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    At 011500 UTC, Severe Tropical Storm Mitag (1918) with central pressure 984 hectopascals was centred within 60 nautical miles of three zero point two degrees north (30.2 N) one two two point four degrees east (122.4 E) and is forecast to move north-northeast at about 12 knots for the next 24 hours.

    Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 55 knots.

    Radius of over 33 knot winds 180 nautical miles.
    Radius of over 47 knot winds 90 nautical miles.
    Radius of over 2 metre waves 270 nautical miles.

    No further warnings on this Severe Tropical Storm will be issued by the Hong Kong Observatory unless it re-enters the Hong Kong area of responsibility.

    Forecast position and intensity at 021500 UTC
    Three four point three degrees north (34.3 N)
    One two six point zero degrees east (126.0 E)
    Maximum winds 45 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 031500 UTC
    Three seven point eight degrees north (37.8 N)
    One three one point three degrees east (131.3 E)
    Maximum winds 35 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 041500 UTC
    Become extratropical low.



    The Hong Kong Observatory's tropical cyclone warnings for shipping are issued about one and a half hours after the time of observation. They incorporate additional information derived from surface and upper-air data and may therefore be slightly different from the real-time satellite or radar-based positions given in the hourly bulletins for public.

    While the forecast positions and track indicate the most likely future path of the tropical cyclone, they may deviate from the actual path taken by the storm.

Note

      

    1. From readings taken at various locations in Hong Kong in the
past, the hourly mean ambient gamma radiation dose rate may
vary between 0.06 and 0.3 microsievert per hour. (1
microsievert = 0.000001 sievert = 0.001 millisievert)

    2. Temporal variations are generally caused by changes in
meteorological conditions such as rainfall, wind and
barometric pressure.

    3. Spatial variations are generally caused by differences in
the radioactive content of local rock and soil.

    4. The data displayed is provisional. Only limited data
validation has been carried out.
