    Bulletin issued at 09:30 HKT 21/Nov/2019


    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    At 210000 UTC, Severe Tropical Storm Fung-wong (1927) with central pressure 980 hectopascals was centred within 60 nautical miles of two zero point one degrees north (20.1 N) one two four point eight degrees east (124.8 E) and is forecast to move northwest or north-northwest at about 6 knots for the next 24 hours.

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

    Radius of over 33 knot winds 120 nautical miles over northern semicircle, 90 nautical miles elsewhere.
    Radius of over 47 knot winds 45 nautical miles.
    Radius of over 2 metre waves 240 nautical miles.

    Forecast position and intensity at 220000 UTC
    Two two point one degrees north (22.1 N)
    One two three point one degrees east (123.1 E)
    Maximum winds 45 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 230000 UTC
    Two five point five degrees north (25.5 N)
    One two three point six degrees east (123.6 E)
    Maximum winds 25 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 240000 UTC
    Dissipated over sea.

    Bulletin issued at 12:30 HKT 20/Nov/2019


    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    Tropical Storm Kalmaegi (1926) has weakened into a Tropical Depression with central pressure 998 hectopascals. At 200300 UTC, it was centred within 90 nautical miles of one seven point zero degrees north (17.0 N) one two one point two degrees east (121.2 E) and is forecast to move southwest at about 16 knots for the next 24 hours.

    Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 30 knots.

    Radius of over 2 metre waves 120 nautical miles.

    No further warnings on this Tropical Depression will be issued by the Hong Kong Observatory unless re-intensification takes place.

    Forecast position and intensity at 210300 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.
