Strong Wind Signal, No. 3Tropical Cyclone Bulletin Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory. The Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 is in force. This means that winds with mean speeds of 41 to 62 kilometres per hour are expected. At 2 p.m., Severe Typhoon Megi was estimated to be about 440 kilometres southeast of Hong Kong (near 19.8 degrees north 117.4 degrees east) and is forecast to move north at about 8 kilometres per hour across the northern part of the South China Sea and gradually edge closer to the coast of eastern Guangdong. Megi continued to edge northward towards the coast of eastern Guangdong. Fresh to strong northerly winds are blowing over Hong Kong with occasional gales on high ground. Under the influence of the dry northeast monsoon, local weather will not deteriorate rapidly today. The Strong Wind Signal No.3 will remain in force for some time, and the chance of Signal No.8 is not high today. In the past hour, the maximum sustained wind recorded at Waglan Island and Tai O were 43 and 59 kilometres per hour respectively. (Precautionary Announcements with No. 3 Signal) 1. You are advised not to delay in taking all precautions to protect your home or property. Make sure now that all loose objects are secure. Porch furniture, flower pots and other objects likely to be blown away should be taken indoors. Check again and make sure all windows and doors can be securely locked. 2. Since seas are rough and there are swells , you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports. 3. Engineers, architects and contractors are again reminded that all scaffoldings, hoardings and temporary buildings should be secured. 4. Small craft owners should now complete arrangements for the safety of their boats. 5. Fishing vessels not yet in typhoon shelters should seek shelter without delay.
