The Hong Kong Observatory upgraded the typhoon signal from No 1 to No 3
at 10.40am on Monday as Tropical Cyclone Merbok approached the city.

The Observatory said that, depending on Merbok’s movement and intensity
changes, it would consider later on Monday afternoon if there was a need
to raise the typhoon signal to No 8.

As of 11am, Merbok was estimated to be about 210km south-southeast of
Hong Kong. It was forecast to be moving north-northwest at about 20km/h
towards the coast of Guangdong.

“According to the current forecast track, Merbok is expected to make
landfall within 100km of Hong Kong at about midnight tonight,” the
Observatory announced on Monday.
