According to the Observatory, at 12 noon, the tropical depression on Hainan Island gathered about 640 kilometers southwest of Hong Kong. It is expected to move west or west-northwest at a speed of about 18 kilometers per hour towards Beibu Gulf.
Due to the tropical depression, it continues to be far away from Hong Kong.
