    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    An area of low pressure over the southern part of South China Sea has intensified into a Tropical Depression with central pressure 1002 hectopascals. At 290000 UTC, it was centred within 90 nautical miles of one one point four degrees north (11.4 N) one one six point zero degrees east (116.0 E) and is forecast to move west-northwest at about 10 knots for the next 24 hours.

    Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 25 knots.

    Radius of over 2 metre waves 120 nautical miles over northern semicircle, 60 nautical miles elsewhere.

    Forecast position and intensity at 300000 UTC
    One two point eight degrees north (12.8 N)
    One one one point eight degrees east (111.8 E)
    Maximum winds 35 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 310000 UTC
    One three point one degrees north (13.1 N)
    One zero seven point six degrees east (107.6 E)
    Maximum winds 30 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 010000 UTC
    Dissipated over land.



    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.
