July 22, 2024 - Hong Kong is expected to be affected by rain and thunderstorms today despite the approach of Tropical Storm Prapiroon, which is forecast to make landfall on Hainan Island. The Hong Kong Observatory issued the Typhoon Standby Signal No. 1 on Saturday night, indicating that the tropical cyclone was within 800 kilometers of Hong Kong and may impact the region.
As of 7 PM last night, Prapiroon was centered about 610 kilometers southwest of Hong Kong and was moving north-northwest at around 14 kilometers per hour toward Hainan. The Observatory reported that "Squally showers associated with Prapiroon are affecting the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary" and that "locally, winds were occasionally strong offshore and on high ground."
Looking ahead, the weather in Hong Kong is expected to be cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Temperatures are forecast to reach a high of 33 degrees Celsius tomorrow, with some sunny periods during the day.
In addition to Prapiroon, another tropical storm named Gaemi is also expected to bring gales and heavy rain to China's eastern seaboard this week. Gaemi is predicted to brush past the northern tip of Taiwan before making landfall in China as a typhoon, with wind speeds of up to 180 kph, according to Chinese forecasters. Taiwan's weather agency expects Gaemi to be closest to the island on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing heavy rainfall.
熱帶風暴「帕拉比隆」登陸海南 預料香港將有雷暴及高溫天氣
2024年7月22日 - 儘管熱帶風暴「帕拉比隆」正在接近,香港今天仍會受到雨水及雷暴的影響。香港天文台在上星期六晚上發出一號烈風戒備信號,表示這個熱帶氣旋距離香港約800公里,可能會影響本地天氣。
據天文台表示,截至昨晚7時,「帕拉比隆」的中心位於香港西南約610公里,正以每小時14公里的速度向北偏西方向移動,預計會登陸海南島。「與『帕拉比隆』有關的陣雨正影響珠江口一帶,而且在離岸和高地地區,風勢間中有強風。」
展望未來,香港天氣預料今明兩天會多雲,有幾陣雷暴。明天更會非常炎熱,氣溫高達攝氏33度,但期間也會有陽光。
除了「帕拉比隆」,另一個熱帶風暴「幫美」也會為中國東部沿海帶來大風及暴雨。預料「幫美」會掠過台灣北部,然後以颱風之勢登陸中國,最高風速高達每小時180公里。台灣氣象部門預期「幫美」會在本星期三及四最靠近島嶼,帶來大量降雨。
