The Observatory changed its No. 3 strong wind signal at 4:40 a.m. on the 10th, and the No. 8 typhoon signal brought by the tropical cyclone "Lion Rock" lasted for 22 hours, refreshing history and becoming the longest-lived "No. 8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal" in Hong Kong.
In terms of typhoon signal No. 8 with a total of 220 times in all directions, this time the total effective hours ranked sixth.
The Lion Rock gathers on Hainan Island, southwest of Hong Kong, and the airflow in the northern hemisphere flows counterclockwise towards the center of the tropical cyclone.
Hong Kong, which lies to its east, mainly blows east to southeast winds, and the Observatory therefore issued the "No. 8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal."

As Lion Rock remains on Hainan Island all day on Saturday (9th), the wind direction has not changed, and the wind in Hong Kong continues to increase and cannot "fall". Therefore, it will take effect from 6:40 on Saturday morning to 4:40 on Sunday morning. The minutes were converted to Typhoon Signal No. 3, and the "No. 8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal" was in force for 22 hours, breaking the record of 21 hours and 45 minutes set by Severe Tropical Storm Ainas at the end of July 1978; 220 No. 8 winds since 1946 Among the balls, this is the sixth-longest typhoon ball at the time of effect.
