The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that it will be issuing a T1 between the hours of 6am and 9am on Monday due to Tropical Cyclone Man-yi approaching the territory. Although the storm is predicted to be within 800 kilometers of the city by midnight, it is expected to weaken as it gets closer.
Despite the anticipated weakening of the cyclone, the observatory has cautioned that windy conditions may be experienced by Tuesday. Additionally, there is a possibility of flooding in low-lying areas. The observatory has highlighted the occurrence of a spring tide in the upcoming days, leading to high sea levels during the high tide overnight. The combined impact of the northeast monsoon and Cyclone Man-yi is expected to raise the sea level by approximately 0.3 meters above the spring tide on Monday and Tuesday nights, potentially resulting in minor flooding in certain low-lying areas. The public is advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
Furthermore, the observatory has indicated that depending on the intensity and proximity of the storm to the city, a higher warning signal may be issued on Monday night or early Tuesday. Residents are urged to stay updated on the latest weather developments and adhere to any safety instructions provided by the authorities.
It is important for individuals to be prepared and stay informed during severe weather conditions to minimize risks and ensure their well-being. By following the guidelines and alerts issued by the Hong Kong Observatory, residents can better protect themselves and their properties from any potential impact of Tropical Cyclone Man-yi.
In times of approaching storms and adverse weather, being proactive and vigilant is crucial. Stay tuned for further updates and take necessary steps to stay safe during this period of potential inclement weather.
