The Hong Kong Observatory has indicated it may issue Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 1 on Monday, should tropical cyclone Saudel intensify into a tropical depression as it approaches the South China Sea and eastern Guangdong. This low pressure system is forecast to traverse the northern part of the South China Sea, gradually drawing nearer to the eastern Guangdong coast on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Present forecasts suggest the remnants of Saudel will approach southeastern Hainan Island's coastline later that evening, gradually evolving into a tropical depression. Together with the northeast monsoon, this could lead to stronger winds in Hong Kong during Tuesday and Wednesday's daytime hours. The Observatory will closely monitor Saudel's movement and any changes in local wind conditions, evaluating the need for higher tropical cyclone warning signals as necessary.
It advises residents to stay informed about the latest weather updates before venturing out for school or work, particularly as additional showers and squally thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday.
