Tropical Cyclone WarningThe Hong Kong Observatory's tropical cyclone warnings for shipping are issued about two hours after the time of observation. They incorporate additional information derived from surface and upper-air data and may therefore be slightly different from the real-time satellite or radar-based positions given in the hourly bulletins for public. Average errors in the 24, 48 and 72-hour forecast positions are of the order of 150, 250 and 350 kilometres respectively.
Super Typhoon Megi (1013) has weakened into a Severe Typhoon with central pressure 945 hectopascals. At 181500 UTC, it was centred within 30 nautical miles of one six point eight degrees north (16.8 N) one two zero point zero degrees east (120.0 E) and is forecast to move west or west-southwest at about 9 knots for the next 24 hours.
Maximum winds near the centre are estimated to be 90 knots.
Radius of over 33 knot winds 150 nautical miles.
Radius of over 47 knot winds 90 nautical miles.
Radius of over 63 knot winds 60 nautical miles.
Radius of over 2 metre waves 240 nautical miles.
