The first episode "Typhoon" will be simultaneously broadcast on 26 April 2014, Saturday at 7.30pm – 8.30pm on TVB Jade and RTHK TV31.
When typhoon sweeps, it results in various disasters, especially serious casualties and damages caused by the storm surge. Under the influence of climate change, the intensity of typhoons may be even stronger in the future.
To better understand the formation of typhoons and their impact, the filming crews fly with the Government Flying Service on a fixed-wing aircraft equipped with meteorological measurement systems to monitor and track the tropical cyclones over the South China Sea. In addition, how the Hong Kong Observatory monitors storm formation, movement, intensification and landfall as well as forecasting will be recorded. The landfall of typhoons and the corresponding impact will be covered, including Hong Kong and Guangdong coastal regions, as well as the severe impact of storm surge to the central Philippines due to Super Typhoon Haiyan.
The documentary will be broadcast at 7:30 pm on TVB Jade and RTHK TV31 for four consecutive Saturdays starting from 26 April. A trailer for preview can be seen online:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxCj6sKxlpY.
