To further enrich the content of the webpage on typhoons that have necessitated the issuance of the Hurricane Signal Number 10, local tropical cyclone warnings of Signal No. 8 or above issued by the Observatory during the passage of Typhoon Rose (1971) are made available on the following webpage:
http://www.weather.gov.hk/informtc/historical_tc/no10_reporte.htm.
The webpage will continue to provide a channel for those who are interested in accessing past tropical cyclone warnings.
Please note that a revision in the local tropical cyclone warning signal system had taken place in 1973 to avoid possible confusion arising out of the inter-changing of signals among the Gale or Storm Signals. Signals 5 to 8 were replaced by 8 NW, 8 SW, 8 NE and 8 SE respectively starting from 1 January of that year and this system has been in use ever since.
