The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) issued the latest Tropical Cyclone Warning Bulletin. The Hurricane Signal, No. 10, is in force. In the HKO's latest TC News at 6:45 am, according to the present forecast, Ragasa will be closest to Hong Kong in the next couple of hours, skirting around 100 kilometres to the south of the territory. Due to the extensive circulation of Ragasa, its hurricane force winds are expected to continue affecting parts of the territory. Members of the public should be on high alert and beware of destructive winds. The Hurricane Signal, No. 10 will remain in force for some time. Local winds will veer gradually from northeasterlies to southeasterlies this morning. Areas which were previously sheltered may become exposed. Local weather will be persistently adverse today with frequent heavy squally showers and thunderstorms. Seas will be phenomenal with swells. There will be overtopping waves over the shoreline, which will be particularly significant along the eastern and southern coasts. Members of the public should stay away from the shoreline and not engage in water sports. Under the influence of significant storm surge, around 2 to 3 metres of rise in water level are expected over the coast of Hong Kong today. The water level will reach the maximum around noon, generally to around 4 metres above chart datum. The water level at Tolo Harbour may even reach around 5 metres above chart datum.
