Typhoon signal in Hong Kong unlikely in next 2 days but expect unsettled weather

Hong Kong's weather bureau predicts a low likelihood of issuing a typhoon signal in the next two days, despite multiple tropical cyclones forecast to bring unsettled weather to the city later this week. At noon on Monday, the Observatory noted that Tropical Storm Narra, named after a Burmese rosewood, was expected to pass near the coast of Leizhou Peninsula in western Guangdong province, staying relatively far from Hong Kong.

The agency revised its earlier prediction from Sunday, stating that the possibility of a tropical cyclone warning signal remains low unless Narra draws closer to the Pearl River Delta. On Monday, Hong Kong could face showers and squally thunderstorms due to a southerly airstream, with occasional strong offshore and high ground winds.

Another cyclone, Tropical Depression Gaenari, named after a Korean flower, had weak intensity and a small circulation near Taiwan. Gaenari is anticipated to dissipate near the Taiwan Strait by Monday. The latter part of the week is expected to be hot in Hong Kong, as Super Typhoon Saudel, named after guards of a legendary Pohnpei Island ruler, approaches eastern China.

Saudel's outer subsiding air will make southern China very hot in the latter part of the week, followed by increased showers over Guangdong's coast early next week.
