The Observatory said at 1:45 a.m. that Nessa began to gradually move away from Hong Kong, but the northeast monsoon affecting southern China would gradually intensify. Under the combined influence of the northeast monsoon and Nessa, strong winds are still generally blowing in Hong Kong, with occasional gale force winds blowing in the highlands.
The No. 3 strong wind signal will be maintained until 5:00 this morning (18th).
Unless local winds strengthen further, there is little chance that the No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal will be reissued.
Typhoon "Nasa" passed 370 to 400 kilometers south of Hong Kong on Monday night (17th), and local winds increased compared with the daytime. Intensified, the maximum sustained wind speed from Kennedy Town to Green Island reached the upper limit of strong winds.
However, strong winds do not prevent citizens from going out at night. On the waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui, a woman with long hair was ruffled by gusts of strong wind.

The Observatory announced at 7 p.m. on Monday that Typhoon Nesa was about 370 kilometers south-southeast of Hong Kong, and the No. 3 strong wind signal was in effect. The average wind speed in Hong Kong is expected to be 41 to 62 kilometers per hour.
Nessa is expected to move west-southwest at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour, crossing the northern part of the South China Sea.
By 9 p.m., the distance from Nasa to the port had increased to 380 kilometers, but the maximum sustained wind speed near the center had increased to 145 kilometers per hour. If it reached 150 kilometers or more, it would be considered a strong typhoon.
The Observatory said that the No. 3 strong wind signal was maintained until 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday; unless the wind in Hong Kong further strengthens, there is little chance of changing the No. 8 gale or storm signal.
The Observatory continued that Nessa will begin to move away from Hong Kong at night, but the northeast monsoon affecting southern China will gradually intensify. Under the combined influence of the northeast monsoon and Nessa, strong winds are still generally blowing in Hong Kong, with occasional gale force winds in the highlands.
From 5.31pm to 6.30pm, the highest sustained wind speeds recorded at Tate's Cairn, Cheung Chau and Sai Kung were 77, 58 and 44 km/h respectively, and the highest gusts were 94, 80 and 75 km/h respectively.
From 7:31 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the highest sustained wind speeds recorded at Tate's Cairn, Cheung Chau and Sai Kung had increased to 86, 60 and 44 km/h respectively, while the highest gusts were 102, 88 km/h and 72 km.
The highest gust in Qingzhou has a maximum sustained wind speed of 61 kilometers and a maximum gust of 100 kilometers.
The outer rainbands associated with Nasa are bringing showers to the coast of Guangdong. Affected by the northeast monsoon, the temperature in the area will also drop significantly. There will be large waves and swells on the sea. The Observatory calls on the public to stay away from the shore and stop all water sports.
Typhoon Nesat | The Observatory expects to strengthen to a strong typhoon to dismantle the No. 8 typhoon. It is unlikely that the reason for the typhoon is Nesat | Typhoon Signal No. 3 was changed at 12:00. During the day, the nearest local typhoon signal was Nesat | The Observatory changed the Typhoon Signal No. 3 to No. 3 before 5:00 on Tuesday, and there is little chance that it will be changed to No. 8
