17 Oct 2016 / Hong Kong
At 2 p.m., Typhoon Sarika was estimated to be about 540 km south of Hong Kong (near 17.5 degrees north 113.4 degrees east) and is forecast to move west-northwest at about 20 km per hour across the central part of the South China Sea and intensify gradually.
Under the combined effect of the northeast monsoon and Sarika, local winds will generally strengthen progressively today.
According to the present forecast track, the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 [which means that winds with mean speeds of 41-62 km per hour are expected] will remain in force today [17 October].
Squally showers started to affect the coast of Guangdong and there will also be swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.
