Tropical Cyclone Man-yi - T1 Monday Morning

[shri]

Tropical Cyclone Man-yi will enter within 800 kilometres of Hong Kong around midnight tonight. The Observatory will issue the Standby Signal, No. 1 between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. tomorrow morning (18 November). Man-Yi is expected to weaken gradually. However, with Man-yi further edging closer to the coast of Guangdong, and under the combined effect with the northeast monsoon, it will be windy over the coast of Guangdong on Tuesday (19 November).

Whether a higher Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal will be issued on Monday night to early Tuesday will depend on the distance between Man-yi and the Pearl River Estuary, its change in intensity and the change in local wind conditions.
