The Hong Kong Observatory has reported that standby signal No.1 will be issued on Wednesday night, as severe typhoon Koinu enters within 800 kilometres of Hong Kong.
The forecaster reported that, according to the present forecast track, Koinu is expected to edge closer to the eastern coast of Guangdong.
“It may then move westwards along the coast of Guangdong and its adjacent waters, and weaken gradually under the influence of the northeast monsoon,” it said.
“However, Koinu’s impact on the local weather will depend on how fast it weakens and its distance from the Pearl River Estuary.”
The HKO forecaster warned that if Koinu weakens slowly and comes closer to the Pearl River Estuary, it will be rather windy with squally showers on Friday and over the weekend.
香港天文台明晚將發出一號待命訊號
香港天文台表示，因強颱風「鯉怒」進入香港800公里範圍內，將於週三晚間發出一號待命訊號。
預報員表示，根據目前的預報軌跡，預計「鯉犬」將向廣東東部沿海靠攏。
報告稱，隨後可能沿著廣東沿海及其鄰近海域向西移動，並在東北季風影響下逐漸減弱。
“不過，甲犬對當地天氣的影響將取決於它減弱的速度以及它與珠江口的距離。”
氣象員警告說，如果甲犬病毒緩慢減弱並接近珠江口，週五和週末將會有大風並伴隨狂風陣雨。
