The Hong Kong Observatory announced on Thursday that they will be issuing the Standby Signal No 1 between noon and 3pm on Friday due to Tropical Cyclone Yinxing approaching Hong Kong. The weather system is expected to enter the SAR’s warning radius of 800 kilometers around midnight on Friday. Additionally, the Observatory mentioned in a Facebook post that two more potential storms are forming over the Pacific Ocean.
Tropical Cyclone Yinxing has a relatively small circulation, so the Observatory will closely monitor changes in intensity, local wind conditions, and the distance of the cyclone from Hong Kong before deciding whether to issue a higher warning signal. As a precaution, they are preparing to issue the T1 signal as the cyclone progresses towards the region.
Furthermore, the Observatory stated that there will be a few showers over the coast of Guangdong during the weekend due to the combined effects of Yinxing and the northeast monsoon. Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
It is crucial for residents to be prepared for any potential impact from Tropical Cyclone Yinxing and to follow the instructions and advice from the Hong Kong Observatory. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops.
