Hong Kong Observatory to Issue Standby Signal No. 1 Tonight

The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that it will issue Standby Signal No. 1 tonight, effective from 10 PM until 4 AM tomorrow. This decision is in anticipation of Tropical Cyclone Trami, which is expected to come within 800 kilometers of Hong Kong.

As Trami approaches, its trajectory indicates it will move towards Hainan Island, while the region will also be affected by the northeast monsoon. Residents can expect increased winds, cloud cover, and sporadic showers along the southern coast on Friday and into the weekend.


The Observatory is closely monitoring the storm's path and local wind conditions and may need to upgrade to Strong Wind Signal No. 3 by the end of Friday or into Saturday. However, the storm's movements remain uncertain, with possibilities ranging from lingering near Hainan Island to shifting eastward across the South China Sea next week, albeit with gradual weakening.


Currently, Trami is positioned about 300 kilometers north of Manila as a Severe Tropical Storm and is moving westward at approximately 10 kilometers per hour. Over the next few days, it is expected to traverse Luzon and then advance across the central and northern South China Sea. This system could lead to windy conditions and overcast skies along the coastal areas.


Public vigilance is advised as the Observatory will provide continuous updates. The convergence of an upper-air disturbance with Trami may result in intermittent showers along the western coast of southern China. Additionally, a dry replenishment of the northeast monsoon is predicted to bring cooler temperatures by midweek, emphasizing significant day-to-night temperature variations.


香港天文台今晚發出備用信號1


香港天文台宣布,今晚將於晚上10時至明天早上4時發出備用信號1。這項決定是因應熱帶氣旋特拉米(Trami)的預期影響,該氣旋預計將在800公里內接近香港。


隨著特拉米的逼近,其路徑顯示將朝向海南島移動,同時該地區也將受到東北季風的影響。居民可以預期在星期五及週末會有增強的風力、雲層及間歇性降雨。


天文台正密切監察該風暴的路徑及當地風況,可能會在星期五結束或星期六升級至強風信號3。然而,該風暴的動向仍不確定,可能會在海南島附近徘徊,或在下週向南海東移,但可能會逐漸減弱。


目前,特拉米正位於馬尼拉以北約300公里處,作為一個強烈熱帶風暴,正以約每小時10公里的速度向西移動。在接下來的幾天內,預計將越過呂宋,然後穿越南海中部和北部。這一系統可能會導致沿海地區出現風大及陰雲密布的天氣。


建議公眾保持警覺,天文台將持續提供更新。特拉米與高空擾動的交匯可能會導致中國南方西部沿海的間歇性降雨。此外,預計東北季風的乾燥補給將在下週中帶來較涼的氣溫,強調日夜之間的顯著溫差。
