It is expected that the Lion Rock will move to the Hainan Island area today and then into the Beibu Gulf. There will still be strong winds and heavy rains along the coast of Guangdong tomorrow and early Sunday (10th).
"When the wind is not flat, the wind will rise again." The Observatory predicts that the vast low pressure area east of the Philippines will gradually develop and move towards Luzon early next week, and then may enter and traverse the northern part of the South China Sea, closer to the South China coast.
The European Forecast System predicts that the low-pressure area will generally move to Hainan Island and will be within 400 kilometers of Hong Kong next Tuesday (12th), which is similar to the forecast of the Mainland Central Meteorological Observatory.
The neotropical cyclone material was named "compass" (Kompasu, the name provided by Japan).

It is expected to pass within 400 kilometers of Hong Kong on the same day, and then move to Hainan Island.
ECMWF predicts that the lowest pressure at the center of the sea level in this low pressure area is 982 hPa, which is a severe tropical storm level.
The US Global Forecast System (GFS) expects that the low-pressure area will pass south of Taiwan next Monday (11th), and then enter the South China Sea has gradually dissipated.
