Mangkhut continues to move steadily towards the coast of western Guangdong and poses a severe threat to Hong Kong. According to the present forecast track, Mangkhut will be closest to the Pearl River Delta in the next few hours, skirting within about 100 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong. The Hurricane Signal, No. 10 will remain in force in the afternoon.

The circulation of Mangkhut is extensive and destructive storm to hurricane force winds are affecting Hong Kong. In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Tate’s Cairn, Waglan Island and Tai Mei Tuk were 175, 161 and 153 kilometres per hour with maximum gusts 232, 195 and 198 kilometres per hour respectively.

Mangkhut’s intense rainbands are affecting Hong Kong, bringing frequent squalls and heavy rain. Sea will be phenomenal with swells. Members of the public should stay on high alert.

Under the influence of storm surge, a high water level of about 3.5 metres or more above chart datum is expected at the Victoria Harbour between noon and 4 p.m. today; and a high water level of about 3.8 metres or more above chart datum is expected at Tai O between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. today. A high water level of about 4.5 meters above chart datum has already been recorded at Tolo Harbour and there is rising trend. The high water level together with the heavy rain will cause severe flooding in low-lying areas.


UPDATE: At 9:40am, the HKO raised their warning to Hurricane Signal, No. 10… the highest warning level.

The Hurricane Signal, No. 10, was issued at 9:40 a.m. This means that winds with mean speeds of 118 kilometres per hour or more are expected. Do not go outside and stay away from exposed windows and doors. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter and be prepared for the change in wind directions.


UPATE: At 8:45am Sunday September 16th, the HKO announced their Increasing Gale or Storm Signal, No. 9 is now in effect.

The Increasing Gale or Storm Signal, No. 9, is in force.

This means that winds are expected to increase significantly as Mangkhut moves closer to Hong Kong.

At 9 a.m., Severe Typhoon Mangkhut was centred about 180 kilometres south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 20.8 degrees north 114.8 degrees east) and is forecast to move west-northwest at about 30 kilometres per hour towards the coast of western Guangdong.

Mangkhut continues to move steadily towards the coast of western Guangdong, edging further closer to Hong Kong with a high threat. According to the present forecast track, Mangkhut will be closest to the Pearl River Delta around noontime today, skirting about 100 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong. Local winds will change gradually from northeasterlies to easterlies, and will strengthen further. The Observatory will consider the need for issuing the Hurricane Signal, No. 10, depending on the local wind changes.

The circulation of Mangkhut is extensive and winds are fierce. Mangkhut’s intense rainbands are affecting Hong Kong, bringing frequent squalls and heavy rain. Sea will be high with swells. When wind direction changes, areas which were previously sheltered may become exposed. Members of the public should stay on high alert.

Under the influence of storm surge, a high water level of about 3.5 metres or more above chart datum is expected at the Victoria Harbour between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m today; and a high water level of about 4.0 metres or more above chart datum is expected at Tai O between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. today. The high water level may cause severe flooding in low-lying areas.

The Observatory makes a special appeal to the members of the public to stay away from the shoreline, and not to engage in water sports.

In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Waglan Island, Tate’s Cairn and Cheung Chau were 122, 117 and 79 kilometres per hour with maximum gusts 147, 151 and 113 kilometres per hour respectively.

HKO’s Precautionary Announcements

1. Do not go outside. If you are reasonably protected, stay where you are. Do not touch electric cables that have been blown loose.

2. Stay away from exposed windows and doors because glass, already under strain from wind pressure, will shatter easily if hit by a flying object. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter. You should only fix broken windows and doors when there is no danger in doing so.

3. People outdoors should find a safe place now and remain there until the danger is over.

4. Flights at Hong Kong International Airport may be affected by the weather. Please contact your airline for the latest flight information before departing for the airport.

Mangkhut continues to move steadily towards the coast of western Guangdong, edging closer to Hong Kong with a high threat. According to the present forecast track, Mangkhut will be closest to the Pearl River Delta around noontime today and local winds will further strengthen. The Observatory will consider the need of issuing higher signals depending on the changes in local wind strength. Members of the public should stay on the alert.

Its track and wind strength near the centre may change under the influence of the terrain of Luzon, but it is expected to remain in the category of super typhoon after entering the South China Sea. Although there are still uncertainties in the subsequent track of Mangkhut and its distance from Hong Kong, Mangkhut’s extensive circulation will bring significantly deteriorating weather to Hong Kong on Sunday with frequent heavy squally showers. Seas will be very rough with swells and low-lying areas may be affected by storm surge.


UPDATE: The HKO canceled all signals at 7:40am.

At 8 a.m., Tropical Storm Barijat was centred about 360 kilometres west-southwest of Hong Kong (near 21.1 degrees north 110.9 degrees east) and is forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 22 kilometres per hour towards the vicinity of Leizhou Peninsula.

UPDATE: The HKO released the following advisory at 2:30pm Wednesday:

Super Typhoon Mangkhut now over the western North Pacific will enter the South China Sea this Saturday and move quickly towards the coast of Guangdong. As Mangkhut has a large circulation with intense winds, it will pose considerable threat to the coast of Guangdong. Although there are still uncertainties in its track, Mangkhut is expected to bring adverse weather to Hong Kong on Sunday with frequent squalls and heavy rain according to the present forecast track.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE BELOW – PUBLISHED 8AM SEPTEMBER 11TH


Two storms are currently making their way towards Southern China. The first, a low pressure area that strengthened into a tropical depression yesterday over the Luzon Strait, entered the South China sea this morning. The Hong Kong Observatory has advised that it will consider issuing the Standby Signal No. 1 today. 

The second is Severe Typhoon MANGKHUT; which is currently moving in our direction and is intensifying. Forecasts predict it will enter the South China Sea as a Super Typhoon on the 15th with maximum sustained winds at its center of 210 km/h (130 mph); potentially reaching 220 km/h (136.7 mph).

Enjoy the nice weather today while it lasts. The tropical depression is expected to bring rains to Shenzhen Wednesday and Thursday September 12th and 13th.  The storm is small and slow moving; however, it is expected to brush close to Shenzhen so people should be on alert.

It’s still a bit too early to tell how close Mangkhut will come; however, considering it’s strength and speed it is expected to seriously impact Guangdong Sunday and Monday, September 16th and 17th, when it reaches us as the predicted Super Typhoon, the highest classification for tropical storms.
