Typhoon Kalmaegi

Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 is in force. This means that winds with mean speeds of 41 to 62 kilometres per hour are expected. At 2 p.m., Typhoon Kalmaegi was estimated to be about 490 km south-southeast of Hong Kong (near 18.4 degrees north 116.3 degrees east) and is forecast to move west-northwest at about 30 km per hour towards the vicinity of western Guangdong to Hainan Island. Kalmaegi is a mature typhoon. Kalmaegi intensified slightly and edged progressively closer to the South China coast in the past few hours. According to the present track, local winds are expected to strengthen significantly later today. The Observatory will consider the need to issue the Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 this evening and overnight. In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Waglan Island and Ngong Ping were 45 and 42 kilometres per hour with maximum gusts 51 and 54 kilometres per hour respectively.
