The No. 8 Southwest 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 southwest quarter. At noon, Severe Tropical Storm Noul was centred about 110 kilometres north of Hong Kong (near 23.3 degrees north 114.2 degrees east) and is forecast to move north-northwest at about 15 kilometres per hour into inland Guangdong and continue to weaken. Noul is moving steadily into inland Guangdong, and continues to depart from Hong Kong while weakening. However, gale force southwesterly winds are still affecting parts of the territory offshore and on high ground occasionally. With Noul departing further, local winds are expected to weaken.
