Very Hot Weather Warning was updated at 6:45 a.m. on 25 July Very hot weather expected in Hong Kong today. The public should beware of heat stroke. Elderly persons, pregnant women, infants and children, those with chronic illnesses, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, as well as the obese are more vulnerable to heat stroke. Watch out for any symptoms of heat stroke. When engaged in work under hot weather or high-temperature environments, please refer to the Guidance Notes on Prevention of Heat Stroke at Work of the Labour Department and take necessary precautions. When engaged in outdoor activities, drink more water and avoid over exertion. If not feeling well, take a rest in the shade or cooler place as soon as possible. Perform outdoor activities in the morning or late afternoon. During indoor activities, replenish water timely. If there is no air-conditioning, then windows should be kept open and fans be used as far as possible to maintain adequate indoor ventilation. Public facilities with heat sheltering may also be used. Avoid prolonged exposure under sunlight. Light-coloured and air-permeable clothing, a wide-brimmed hat that covers the back of your neck and ultraviolet (UV) blocking sunglasses can reduce the chance of sunburn by solar UV radiation. Choose a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen product with a sun protective factor (SPF) of 30 or higher when doing outdoor activities and apply liberally; reapply every two hours if you need to stay outdoors for a prolonged period, or after swimming, sweating or towelling off. Beware of health and wellbeing of elderly or persons with chronic medical conditions. If you know of them, call or visit them occasionally and check whether their household ventilation and air-conditioning devices function properly. Those more vulnerable to heat stroke should avoid outdoor activities and stay away from hot environment as far as possible. Stay in cool, well-ventilated or air-conditioned places.

Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 was updated at 2:45 p.m. on 25 July 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 3 p.m., Typhoon Noul was estimated to be about 270 kilometres east-southeast of Hong Kong (near 21.4 degrees north 116.6 degrees east) and is forecast to move northwest at about 18 kilometres per hour across the northeastern part of the South China Sea, in the general direction of the coast of eastern Guangdong. In the past few hours, Noul moved steadily across the northeastern part of the South China Sea and intensified slightly. With its strong winds and outer rainbands gradually affecting the coastal areas of Guangdong, local winds will strengthen progressively. There will be more squally showers. Seas will be rough with swells. Members of the public should complete all precautionary measures as soon as possible, stay away from the shoreline and not engage in water sports. According to the present forecast track, Noul will make landfall over the vicinity of Huizhou to Shanwei tomorrow (26 July) morning, skirting around 100 kilometres northeast of Hong Kong. Winds over parts of Hong Kong are expected to reach gale force. Depending on the distance between the landfall location of Noul and Hong Kong, the size of its gale winds, and local wind conditions, the Observatory will assess the need for issuing higher tropical cyclone warning signals between 9 p.m. tonight and midnight. Under the influence of the rainbands of Noul, there will be frequent heavy squally showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. Rainstorm warning signals or Localised Heavy Rain Advisory may need to be issued by then. Members of the public should pay close attention to the latest weather information issued by the Observatory. 1. Please complete precautions as soon as possible. Make sure objects likely to be blown away are securely fastened or taken indoors. Check if all windows and doors can be securely locked. 2. Drains should be cleared of leaves and rubbish. People in low-lying areas should take precautions against flooding. 3. Flights at Hong Kong International Airport may be affected by the weather. Please contact your airline for the latest flight information before departing for the airport. 4. Avoid staying in areas exposed to high winds. Drivers using highways and flyovers should be alert to violent gusts. 5. Construction and property management practitioners should make sure that overhanging facilities and temporary structures outdoors are securely fastened or placed on the ground, and complete precautionary measures as soon as possible. 6. Small vessel owners should now complete all safety arrangements and return to nearby typhoon shelters. 7. Small vessels not yet in typhoon shelters should seek shelter without delay. Use heavy anchors and check that all deck fittings are firmly fastened. 8. Listen to radio, watch TV or browse the Hong Kong Observatory's website and mobile app for the latest information on the tropical cyclone.
