Observatory: Conson’s future route is farther away from Hong Kong, and the chance of issuing alert signal No. 1 is lower

Tropical Cyclone Conson entered the central part of the South China Sea this morning, and will traverse the South China Sea in the next one or two days. It will pass about 600 kilometers south to southwest of Hong Kong, and will generally move towards Hainan Island.

The Observatory announced in the morning that it will consider issuing the No. 1 alert signal this afternoon.

At noon, the Observatory issued the latest forecast, stating that Conson's path will be farther away from Hong Kong in the next two or three days, and the impact on Hong Kong's wind will be lower than expected. The chance of Hong Kong needing to issue the alert signal No. 1 is also lower.

The Observatory also pointed out that the sinking air currents of tropical cyclone Chanthu will bring very hot weather to southern China, and the hot weather will trigger showers and squally thunderstorms.

The very hot weather warning is now in effect, urging the public to take precautions against heat stroke.

The Observatory said that according to the latest forecast, tropical cyclone Conson will be farther away from Hong Kong in the next two or three days, and its impact on Hong Kong's wind will be lower than previously expected.

The chance of Hong Kong needing to issue the alert signal No. 1 is also low, but the public is urged to pay attention to the sea swells in the next few days.

The Observatory also pointed out that tropical cyclone Can will roughly move to the area from Taiwan to the Luzon Strait in the next two or three days. Its sinking airflow will bring hot weather to southern China, and the high temperature will trigger showers and squally thunderstorms.

The Observatory will continue to closely monitor the movements of the two tropical cyclones.

The public please pay attention to the latest weather news.
