The Observatory pointed out in the "Weather Essay" that the tropical depression Siamba formed in the central part of the South China Sea on June 29 and moved northwestward and gradually approached the coast of western Guangdong.

The Observatory also made a summary on the weather of Siamba in Hong Kong, stating that Hong Kong was already affected by the broad outer rainband of Siamba on July 1, with heavy showers and violent gusts. On that day, more than 40 mm of rainfall was recorded in many areas, and the Observatory once An amber rainstorm warning signal is issued.

Since Siamba adopted a more easterly path this morning, its gale area will affect Hong Kong for longer than previously expected, and the squally showers associated with Siambar will continue to affect Hong Kong.

Until 3:00 p.m., Siamba made landfall near Dianbai District, Maoming City, Guangdong Province, and gradually moved away from Hong Kong. The local wind weakened. The No. 8 gale or storm signal was changed to No. 3 strong wind signal at 4:20 p.m. The outer rainbands of the Pearl River Estuary still bring squally showers.

At the same time, affected by the active southerly air flow, the Observatory expects that the weather along the coast of Guangdong will remain unstable for the next few days.
