  • MOLAVE (ISANG) has made landfall near Hong Kong between 2-3AM early this morning as a 120-kph Typhoon...now moving across Western Guangdong, just north of Macau as a weakened Tropical Storm.

    *Residents and visitors along Western Guangdong should closely monitor the progress of MOLAVE.

    **Important Note: Residents of Hong Kong should continue take precautionary measures, as SW Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 is in force...Early this morning, Storm Signal No. 9 was raised as the Eyewall of MOLAVE passed some 40 km. to the North of HK. Kindly check out Hong Kong Observatory's bulletin for more details. Also check out the various wind gusts across various Automated Weather Station around HK in real-time.

    *Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.

    + Forecast Outlook: MOLAVE is expected to continue moving WNW across Western Guangdong this morning. MOLAVE will start to dissipate later this afternoon until early tomorrow while moving overland, across the mountainous terrain of Western Guangdong.

    + Effects: MOLAVE's weakening core (Eye & Eyewall) is now moving away to the west of Hong Kong or just north of Macau. Gale force winds of up to 100 kph with widespread rains will continue to prevail over Macau, Hong Kong and Western Guangdong. Its outer and inner rainbands continues to weaken as it spreads across other parts of SW China and Hainan Island. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 50 up to 100 mm can be expected along the storm's rain bands...with isolated accumulations of up to 200 mm along mountain slopes near the center of MOLAVE. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary. Possible coastal Storm Surge flooding of up to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible along the coastal areas of Western Gunagdong. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of SW China and Hainan Island, including the monsoon affected areas.

    + Current SW Monsoon Intensity: MODERATE >> Light to moderate southwesterly winds not in excess of 40 kph with rains, and passing squalls can be expected along the following affected areas: NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA & THE COASTAL AREAS OF WESTERN LUZON.

    + Tropical Cyclone Watch:

    (1) Tropical Disturbance 95W (LPA) disorganized and weak over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea...currently located near lat 12.6N lon 131.0E...or about 695 km East of Catarman, Northern Samar...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 30 kph...almost stationary while embedded within the Monsoon Trough (ITCZ).

    This system will be closely monitored for possible development into a Significant Tropical Cyclone within the next 2 to 3 days. Watch for more information on this new disturbance as new data arrives. Kindly click the cool
