The area of low pressure now over the northeastern part of South China Sea will develop into a tropical cyclone gradually today and tomorrow. According to the present forecast, it will linger over the region and intensify. Depending on its development and impact to Hong Kong, the Observatory will assess the need to issue the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal later today (4 July) to Saturday (5 July). There are uncertainties in its subsequent movement. It is more likely to turn northwards in the general direction of the vicinity of Taiwan to the coast of eastern Guangdong. Locally, there will be swells in the next couple of days. Members of the public should stay away from the shoreline and not engage in water sports, and take note of the latest weather information from the Observatory.
