Entering the hot summer monsoon season, the Observatory predicts that a broad low-pressure area in the middle of the South China Sea will gradually develop into a tropical cyclone in the middle of this week. There are still variables in its intensity and path, but it will be affected by its related peripheral rainbands. The weather gradually deteriorated and the winds gradually strengthened. The offshore and highland winds blew Category 6, that is, the wind force of Typhoon No. 3, and the weekend even ushered in squally showers and thunderstorms.

Earlier this year, the Observatory predicted that 5 to 8 tropical cyclones would enter Hong Kong within a range of 500 kilometers this year, which is normal to high.

Referring to the nine-day weather forecast, affected by the outer rainbands of the tropical cyclone, the weather in the northern part of the South China Sea and the coast of southern China will gradually deteriorate later this week. In the weather of several thunderstorms, strong winds of Category 6 were occasionally blown off the coast and in the highlands, that is, the wind force of Typhoon No. 3.

The Mainland's Central Meteorological Observatory also predicts that a typhoon will form in the waters from the Philippines to the South China Sea at the end of this month, and it may travel northward to affect southern China around next Sunday (July 3), bringing obvious wind and rain.
As for European and American computer forecasts, it is predicted that the intensity of the tropical cyclone will weaken compared to yesterday.
Among them, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) predicts that a tropical cyclone will form in the South China Sea as soon as Thursday, reaching the level of a tropical storm. It will approach Hong Kong next Sunday and make landfall on the same day.
The U.S. Global Forecast System (GFS) predicted that the tropical cyclone could be upgraded to a typhoon at the highest level, but its moving path did not go straight to Hong Kong, but made landfall in the east of Hong Kong.
The Observatory once explained that if a tropical cyclone makes landfall in the east of Hong Kong, Hong Kong will blow northerly winds for a period of time, and the wind will be relatively low due to the blocking of mountains.
According to the current weather forecast, the wind will blow from the east to the southeast in Hong Kong around July 1st, and then turn from the south to the southeast.
