HK issues typhoon warning as storm Lionrock approaches Hainan
The Hong Kong Observatory issued typhoon warning signal No 3 on Friday (Oct 8) morning as tropical storm Lionrock moved toward the vicinity of Hainan Island.
The signal, issued at 4:40am, means that winds with mean speeds of 41 to 62 kilometers per hour were expected in Hong Kong.
"Under the combined effect of Lionrock and the northeast monsoon, winds are generally strong over the coast of southern China with occasional gales offshore and on high ground," the observatory said in its weather bulletin issued at 12:45pm.
The typhoon signal No 3 is expected to remain in force today and overnight tonight, the HKO said.
At 1pm, Lionrock was estimated to be about 610 km southwest of Hong Kong and is forecast to move north at about 10 kilometers per hour towards the vicinity of Hainan Island.
The heavy rain associated with Lionrock brought heavy showers and squalls to the territory, prompting the observatory to once issue the highest black rainstorm warning at 11:45pm on Thursday. The signal was lower to red about an hour later.: https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus...roaches-hainan
