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.
It is expected that the wind will gradually weaken.
When the tropical depression no longer poses a threat to Hong Kong, the Observatory will cancel all tropical cyclone warning signals.
