Tropical Depression Mawar

Tropical Depression Mawar is expected to intensify and move gradually in the general direction of eastern Guangdong to the Pearl River Estuary in the next couple of days. When it takes on a more definite northerly track and edges closer to the coast of Guangdong, Hong Kong Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal No. 1.

The weather on Saturday and Sunday is expected to deteriorate progressively with heavy squally showers over the coast of Guangdong. Winds will also strengthen gradually.

At 010000 UTC, Tropical Depression Mawar (1716) with central pressure 998 hectopascals was centred within 90 NM of 19.6 N / 118.5 E and is forecast to be slow moving for the next 24 hours.
