Typhoon Compasses is approaching gradually. The Observatory will change the No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal at 5:20 pm on Tuesday (12th), and it is expected to be maintained before noon.
The spokesperson of the Hong Kong Meteorological Society, Leung Wing-wu, stated on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" today (13) that the northerly wind of the northeast monsoon is not exactly the same as the typhoon compass, and the presence of mountains as a barrier makes the wind stronger than the previous ones. Lion Rock is weak.
However, he pointed out that if the compass goes westward.
And the easterly wind is blowing, and it is expected that the local wind will intensify.

The Hong Kong Meteorological Society spokesperson Leung Wing-wu said that the impact of typhoon Compasses on Hong Kong is expected. Gale is blowing in some areas such as Cheung Chau and Stanley, but the wind in other places is not too strong.
He explained that because the compass is far away from Hong Kong, the northerly air current of the northeast monsoon is not exactly the same as the compass, and the presence of mountains in Hong Kong makes the wind weaker than the Lion Rock which hit Hong Kong a few days ago.
He also pointed out that due to the dry airflow to the north, there was less rain this time and the wind weakened in disguise.
He pointed out that if the compass goes westward.
And if the easterly wind blows, the wind is expected to intensify.
Regarding the observatory’s early forecast of the hoisting of the No. 8 typhoon signal, Liang Rongwu pointed out that it had nothing to do with the earlier criticism of Lion Rock’s attack on Hong Kong. Greater confidence.
He also pointed out that although it has entered the autumn, because the current high sea temperature helps the formation of typhoons, it is not uncommon for tropical cyclones to strike Hong Kong frequently, but the distance is generally far away, and it is expected that the No. 8 typhoon is the upper limit.
However, he reminded that in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan severely hit the Philippines in November that year, so the typhoon that formed in autumn or winter should not be ignored.
