The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) said that the area of low pressure near Luzon is currently about 800 km away from Hong Kong. It is expected to develop into a tropical cyclone tonight (5th) to tomorrow morning (6th). The HKO will consider issuing the Standby Signal, No. 1 by then.According to the present forecast, the tropical cyclone will intensify progressively and move in the general direction of the coast of Guangdong in the next couple of days, but there are uncertainties in its intensity and speed of movement.Under its influence, winds are expected to strengthen gradually in Hong Kong on Sunday (7th), and the weather will become unsettled. Depending on the intensity of the tropical cyclone, the distance of its strong winds from the territory and the changes in local winds, the HKO will assess the need of issuing higher Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals on Sunday.
