The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 will continue to be in effect until at least Sunday at 10 am. This decision comes as Super Typhoon Yinxing moves closer to the region, prompting concerns about potential impacts from the storm.
According to the observatory, the likelihood of issuing a higher warning signal remains low unless Yinxing changes course and tracks closer to the Pearl River Estuary. The situation will continue to be monitored closely to ensure the safety of residents in Hong Kong.
In light of the impending weather conditions, the Education Bureau has taken precautionary measures by suspending classes at kindergartens and schools for children with physical and intellectual disabilities on Saturday. This decision aims to prioritize the well-being of students and staff members in the face of potential risks associated with the approaching typhoon.
Residents are advised to stay informed about the latest updates from the observatory and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this period of heightened alert. It is important to remain vigilant and prepared for any changes in weather conditions that may arise as Yinxing progresses towards Hong Kong.
As the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 remains in effect, residents are encouraged to secure loose objects, avoid going near shorelines, and stay indoors as much as possible. By staying informed and following safety guidelines, individuals can help minimize risks and ensure their well-being during this challenging time.
The observatory will continue to provide updates and advisories as the situation develops, and residents are urged to heed the advice of officials to stay safe and protected from the potential impacts of the typhoon. Let us all work together to stay safe, stay informed, and weather the storm with resilience and unity.
