Hong Kong Observatory to Issue Standby Signal No. 1 as Tropical Cyclone Toraji Approaches

Updated: 2 days ago

The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that it will issue Standby Signal No. 1 between 8 PM and midnight tonight in response to the approaching Tropical Cyclone Toraji. Currently, the cyclone is moving across Luzon and is expected to come within 800 kilometers of Hong Kong.

Over the next few days, Toraji is projected to approach the western coast of Guangdong and the Pearl River Estuary. Due to the combined effects of the cyclone and the northeast monsoon, local winds are anticipated to strengthen, bringing squally showers.


The Observatory has also indicated that there may be consideration for issuing Strong Wind Signal No. 3 between tomorrow, November 12, and early Wednesday, November 13.



As of noon today, Typhoon Toraji was located about 260 kilometers north-northeast of Manila, moving west-northwest at approximately 22 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Yinxing is around 130 kilometers west of Xisha and is forecast to move southwest towards central Vietnam, where it is expected to dissipate. Additionally, an area of low pressure near Yap is developing, with the potential for a new tropical cyclone.


This afternoon’s weather is expected to feature sunny periods, transitioning to mainly cloudy conditions tonight, with moderate east to northeasterly winds, fresh offshore and on high ground.


香港天文台將於今晚8時至12時發出一號戒備信號,因熱帶氣旋多拉吉逼近


香港天文台宣布,將於今晚8時至12時發出一號戒備信號,以應對逼近的熱帶氣旋多拉吉。目前,該氣旋正穿過呂宋,預計會在香港800公里內出現。


在未來幾天內,多拉吉預計將接近廣東西部和珠江口。由於氣旋與東北季風的共同影響,當地的風力預計將增強,並將帶來陣雨。


天文台亦表示,可能會考慮在明天11月12日至週三早上11月13日發出三號強風信號。


截至今日中午,熱帶風暴多拉吉位於馬尼拉以北約260公里的地方,正以約每小時22公里的速度向西北移動。同時,熱帶風暴銀杏約位於西沙以西130公里,預計將向西南移動至越南中部,並將逐漸消散。此外,位於亞邦附近的一個低壓區正在發展,可能會形成新的熱帶氣旋。


今天下午的天氣預計會有陽光,今晚將轉為主要多雲,東至東北的風力適中,沿岸及高地的風勢較大。
