The observatory announced that Standby Signal No. 1 will remain in effect at least through Wednesday morning, with the likelihood of a No. 3 signal remaining low. Tropical Cyclone Saudel, located over 200 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong on Tuesday afternoon, is expected to approach the eastern Guangdong coast and intensify gradually.
Saudel is anticipated to bring squally showers to the city, with occasional strong offshore winds and winds on high ground. The forecaster noted that unless Saudel strengthens significantly and its strong winds approach the area near the Pearl River Estuary, the chances of strong winds across Hong Kong are not high. Forecasters also stated that Saudel will remain in the northeastern South China Sea and along the eastern Guangdong coast on Thursday, with uncertainties in its movement and intensity, which may result in a tropical cyclone warning signal staying in force until later in the week.
