The pre-disparity between the two major testing organizations
Will it catch the wind? According to the nine-day weather forecast published by the Observatory today at 11:30 am, it is predicted that only moderate (3 to 4) east winds will be blown on Saturday, and it will be slightly stronger next Sunday. See the wind has increased significantly.
The projections of the two major forecasting agencies are very different. The European Center for Medium-Term Weather Forecast (ECMWF) forecast is similar to the Observatory and has little impact on Hong Kong. However, the forecast of the United States Global Forecast System (GFS) tends to strengthen the low-pressure area into a tropical cyclone, directly Strike Hong Kong.
