The Hong Kong Observatory said earlier today that Tropical Cyclone Warning No 3 will remain in force only until 6pm today, unless Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen strengthens or changes course, which is unlikely.
“Unless Fengshen intensifies significantly, the chance of issuing higher Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals is relatively low,” the HK Observatory said in a statement.
T3 was hoisted yesterday afternoon, bypassing T1 as Fengshen edged closer to the coast of Guangdong. It replaced the Strong Monsoon Signal that was issued at 10:50pm Sunday night.
Under the combined effect of Fengshen and the monsoon, temperatures dipped to around 19 degrees in the urban areas today, and colder in the New Territories.

Classes at kindergartens and schools for children with disabilities were suspended for the day today with T3 in force.
Fengshen was tracked to have passed beyond 400 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong before moving away.
The Observatory said frequent showers can be expected in the next couple of days as outer rainbands from Fengshen continue to affect Hong Kong.

There could also be flooding at some low-lying coastal areas during the high tides at night, with the water level at Victoria Harbour rising up to around 3 meters about Chart Datum, or the reference point for predicting tide heights.
