Standby Signal, No.1 was updated at 1:45 p.m. on 3 July Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory. The Standby Signal, No. 1 is in force. This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about 800 kilometres of Hong Kong may affect us. At 2 p.m., Tropical Storm Maysak was estimated to be about 690 kilometres southwest of Hong Kong (near 17.5 degrees north 110.0 degrees east) and is forecast to move northwest at about 10 kilometres per hour in the general direction of Hainan Island. Maysak is edging closer to Hainan Island gradually, still maintaining quite some distance from Hong Kong. The Standby Signal, No. 1 will remain in force at least until 6 p.m. today. The Observatory will then assess the need for issuing the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 depending on the changes in the intensity of Maysak, the distance of its strong winds from the Pearl River Estuary, and the local wind conditions. The outer rainbands associated with Maysak are bringing squally showers and violent gusts to the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary. Meanwhile, a ridge of high pressure is gradually establishing over southeastern China. Under the combined effect of Maysak and the ridge of high pressure, local winds were occasionally strong offshore. Due to the effect of terrain, winds were up to gale force over parts of high ground. There will be swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline, not to engage in water sports and take note of the latest weather information. 1. Precautions should be taken. Drains should be cleared of obstructions, and windows and doors should be checked. 2. People in areas of exposed to high winds or in low-lying areas should take precautions against strong winds and flooding. 3. People planning to visit Guangdong, Macau, outlying islands or remote parts of Hong Kong should note that changes in weather may affect your trips. 4. Construction and property management practitioners should make sure that overhanging facilities and temporary structures outdoors are securely fastened, and should take precautionary measures. 5. Listen to radio, watch TV or browse the Hong Kong Observatory's website and mobile app for the latest information on the tropical cyclone.
