18 Nov 2024 / Hong Kong
The Standby Signal No.1 is in force [in Hong Kong]. This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about 800 km of Hong Kong may affect us.
At 5 p.m., Severe Tropical Storm Man-yi was estimated to be about 470 km south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 18.7 degrees north 116.5 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 22 km per hour across the northern part of the South China Sea.
In the past few hours, Man-yi took a westerly track across the northern part of the South China Sea. With Man-yi edging closer to the coast of southern China, and under the combined effect of the northeast monsoon, there will be strong northerly winds offshore and on high ground. Due to terrain sheltering effect, the chance of general strong winds over Hong Kong will be relatively low. The rainbands associated with Man-yi will gradually affect the coast of Guangdong tomorrow (19 November), and showers will be more frequent with squalls over the region.
According to the latest forecast, Man-yi will skirt around 400 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong tomorrow morning. The Standby Signal, No. 1 will remain in force at least until 10 a.m. tomorrow. Unless Man-yi adopts a more northerly track or edges closer to the coast of Guangdong with a higher intensity, the chance of issuing Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 is relatively low.
