The Hong Kong Observatory has
released an advisory at 9:45pm on Saturday at the Strong Wind Signal Number 3
will be in place until at least midday today, Sunday, with the approach of
Typhoon Matmo.
A statement issued by the
Observatory just an hour earlier said it was not ruling out a higher signal as
the typhoon which packs winds of up to 110 km an hour, skirts more than 300
kilometres southwest of Hong Kong.
The strong wind signal no 3 was
issued at 12:20pm on Saturday.

According to the earlier
bulletin, Matmo intensified as it moved steadily towards Leizhou Peninsula, in the southmost part of Guangdong.
But the forecaster said that
unless the storm comes closer to the Pearl River Estuary than expected, the
chance of sustained gale-force winds over Hong Kong is relatively low.

However, it warned of occasional squally
showers, thunderstorms and violent gusts, with rough
swells near the harbor.
