All typhoon signals in Hong Kong to be cancelled at 12.10pm as cyclone Kajiki departs
Weather forecaster says No 1 typhoon warning will be replaced by strong monsoon signal as Kajiki moves across waters south of Hainan Island
All typhoon signals will be cancelled at 12.10pm on Sunday as Tropical Cyclone Kajiki moves further away from Hong Kong, according to the city’s weather forecaster.
The Observatory said the No 1 typhoon signal would be replaced by the strong monsoon signal at noon, as Kajiki moved across the waters south of Hainan Island.
It said the city could expect a few squally showers and thunderstorms throughout the day under the combined effect of a ridge of high pressure over southeastern China and Kajiki, which is the Japanese word for swordfish.
“Winds will occasionally be strong offshore and on high ground. There will be swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports,” it warned.
Showers would ease off gradually over the coast of Guangdong province in the next couple of days, the Observatory said.
