HKHong Kong’s weather authorities have decided to maintain the No 1 typhoon signal until at least 6 pm on Friday due to the approaching Tropical Storm Maysak. The storm is currently located approximately 670 km southwest of Hong Kong and is moving northwest toward Hainan Island at a speed of about 10 km/h. Officials noted that Maysak has shifted slightly northward in recent hours but remains distant from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Observatory will reassess the situation later in the day to determine if a higher alert level, specifically the No 3 warning, should be issued based on the storm’s strength, proximity to the Pearl River Estuary, and local wind conditions. Wind gusts have already been reported in coastal and elevated areas during the morning.
