A tropical storm veering westwards to Taiwan and on to either Guangdong and Fujian after missing northern Philippines by 1,000 kilometers, is expected to be felt in Hong Kong by Thursday as the territory falls within its 280-kilometer radius.
With winds of 100 kilometers per-hour, Tropical Storm Podul was
expected to intensify at it moves west at 25 KPH through extreme northern Philippines,
according to a forecast from Pagasa in the Philippines.
The Hong Kong Observatory, on the other hand, expects the
storm to slow down to 22kph as it continues across the western North Pacific,
over Taiwan and to either Guangdong or Fujian province, depending on how it will
be affected by a high pressure area coming from the north.

“Showers associated with the area of low pressure over the
northern part of the South China Sea will edge closer to the coast of Guangdong,”
the Observatory said.
Weather during the first three days of the week in Hong Kong
will be cloudy to hot due to an anticyclone over southern China.
With Podul intensifying gradually as it approaches north of
the territory, the weather is expected to turn, with heavy rains and gusts expected
Thursday and Friday.

“However, its subsequent movement and intensity remain uncertain, with a higher chance of moving towards the vicinity of the coast of Fujian and eastern Guangdong,” the Observatory said.
