The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that it will issue the Strong Wind Signal Number 3 between 6 PM and 9 PM today, as Typhoon Yagi approaches the western part of the South China coast.
Currently, Typhoon Yagi is situated approximately 510 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong and is moving westward at about 10 kilometers per hour. The forecast indicates that Yagi will gradually intensify as it moves across the northern South China Sea.
In recent hours, Yagi has been tracking steadily westward and strengthening. The Observatory expects local winds to increase tonight, prompting the consideration of the T3 warning during the specified time.
As Typhoon Yagi continues to approach, winds around the Pearl River Estuary may become even stronger by tomorrow. The Observatory has also indicated that Yagi could reach severe typhoon or super typhoon intensity.
Depending on Yagi's movement and intensity changes, the Observatory will evaluate the need to issue higher tropical cyclone warning signals between tomorrow afternoon and evening. Currently, the Standby Signal Number 1 is in effect.
香港今晚將發出T3警告
香港天文台宣布，將於今晚6時至9時發出強風信號3號，因為颱風雅琪正逼近中國南部沿岸的西部。
目前，颱風雅琪位於香港東南約510公里，正以每小時約10公里的速度向西移動。預測顯示，雅琪在北部南海上空移動的同時將逐漸增強。
在過去幾小時內，雅琪穩定地向西追蹤並增強。天文台預計，今晚本地風力將逐漸增強，並考慮在上述時間發出T3警告。
隨著颱風雅琪的逼近，明天珠江口附近的風力可能會進一步增強。天文台還指出，雅琪的最大強度可能會達到強颱風或超強颱風的程度。
根據雅琪的移動和強度變化，天文台將評估在明天下午至晚上發出更高熱帶氣旋警告信號的必要性。目前，已經生效的為1號戒備信號。
