    Typhoon? Its only a tropical storm at the moment. The forecast does not expect it to reach typhoon strength before hitting land and dissipating. Of course, it may reach typhoon strength. So we'll see.

    Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin

    Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.

    The Standby Signal, No. 1 is in force.

    This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about 800 kilometres of Hong Kong may affect us.

    At 10 a.m., Tropical Storm Nuri was estimated to be about 420 kilometres south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 18.9 degrees north 115.9 degrees east) and is forecast to move northwest at about 22 kilometres per hour crossing the northern part of the South China Sea, edging closer to the coast of western Guangdong, and continue to intensify.

    My wild guess, we might get a T3 at most, but that's it. The storm is not strong enough and too far away to warrant a T8. Unless:

    a) It intensifies more rapidly and strongly than expected, reaching typhoon strength.
    b) It takes a more northernly track than the current forecasted track, meaning it is closer to HK.

    Doesn't appear that it's even going to approach the intensity of the 3 storms we had this past week....yawn.

    If anything, Macau's observatory seems to give the possibility of T8 as "medium". Not sure when they started making this rather precise table.
