13 Oct 2020 / Hong Kong
No.8 Typhoon Signal has been hoisted and is expected to remain in force of most of the day today (13 October).
The latest Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory stated that at 8 a.m., Tropical Storm Nangka was about 450 kilometres south-southwest of Hong Kong (near 18.4 degrees north, 112.9 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 22km per hour towards the vicinity of Hainan Island and intensify gradually.
Under the combined effect of Nangka and the northeast monsoon, gale force winds are gradually affecting the offshore waters and the high ground in the territory. Winds are generally stronger over the southern part of Hong Kong.
With Nangka moving to the southwest of Hong Kong, local wind direction will gradually change from northeast to east to southeast. Areas which are previously sheltered may become exposed. The heavy rain band associated with Nangka to the southeast of Hong Kong will also move gradually towards the eastern coast of Guangdong, bringing squally showers to the region. The Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 is expected to remain in force for most of the day today.
Maximum sustained winds recorded at Waglan Island, Cheung Chau Beach and Tate's Cairn were 73, 67 and 55 km per hour with maximum gusts exceeding 78, 80 and 72 km per hour respectively.
