    Tropical Cyclone Warnings

    Bulletin issued at 11:45 HKT 08/Jun/2018

    Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin

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

    The Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 is in force.

    This means that winds with mean speeds of 41 to 62 kilometres per hour are expected.

    At noon, Tropical Storm Ewiniar was estimated to be about 210 kilometres west-northwest of Hong Kong (near 23.0 degrees north 112.3 degrees east) and is forecast to move north or north-northeast slowly towards the inland areas of western Guangdong and weaken gradually.

    In the past few hours, rainbands associated with Ewiniar brought heavy rain and squalls to Hong Kong. Please continue to stay on the alert and take note of the latest weather information.

    The Observatory will closely monitor the weather condition. When winds and rain in Hong Kong weaken, the Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal, No. 1.

    In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Stanley and Tate's Cairn were 42 and 41 kilometres per hour with maximum gusts 60 and 64 kilometres per hour respectively.

    (Precautionary Announcements with No. 3 Signal)

    1. Drains should be cleared of leaves and rubbish. People in low-lying areas should take precautions against flooding.

    2. Please take precautions now. Make sure objects likely to be blown away are securely fastened or taken indoors. Check if all windows and doors can be securely locked.

    3. Seas are rough and there are swells, you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and low-lying areas, and not to engage in water sports.

    4. Avoid staying in areas exposed to high winds. Drivers using highways and flyovers should be alert to violent gusts.

    5. Listen to radio, watch TV or browse the Hong Kong Observatorys website and mobile app for the latest information on the tropical cyclone.

    Tropical Cyclone Warning

    At 080300 UTC, Tropical Storm Ewiniar (1804) with central pressure 995 hectopascals was centred within 90 nautical miles of two two point nine degrees north (22.9 N) one one two point three degrees east (112.3 E) and is forecast to move north or north-northeast slowly for the next 24 hours.

    Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 35 knots.

    Radius of over 33 knot winds 30 nautical miles.
    Radius of over 2 metre waves 120 nautical miles.

    Forecast position and intensity at 090300 UTC
    Two three point six degrees north (23.6 N)
    One one two point five degrees east (112.5 E)
    Maximum winds 25 knots.

    Forecast position and intensity at 100300 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.
