The Social Welfare Department said that since the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 3 has been issued, the Social Welfare Department advises the public not to send their children or family members to child care centres, centres providing after-school care services, elderly service centres or including sheltered workshops, integrated vocational rehabilitation service centres , Day Rehabilitation Service Units including the Integrated Vocational Training Center and the Development Center, but the centers will continue to be open to those in need during their normal office hours.
Citizens who need to send their children or family members to the center or service unit can contact the center or service unit first.
The Observatory said that due to the combined influence of the Niger and the northeast monsoon, strong winds are generally blowing in Hong Kong, and gale force winds are occasionally blowing in the highlands.
Strong wind signal No. 3 will be maintained until noon.
Although Niger will gradually weaken, the speed of its weakening is still variable.
According to the latest forecast path, Niger will be very close to the Pearl River Estuary later today, passing by within about 150 kilometers south of Hong Kong. At that time, Hong Kong will gradually change from northerly winds to easterly winds, and the originally sheltered areas may become effective. The wind will further strengthen in Hong Kong. The Observatory will consider issuing the No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal between 12:00 noon and 2:00 pm.
