| Koinu is forecast to move within 100 km of Hong Kong's southern part |
Against previous expectations, Typhoon Koinu will move closer to Hong Kong later today, so the Observatory said will issue Number 8 gale storm signal at 12:40pm today, Sunday.
In the past few hours, Koinu maintained its strength
while gradually picking up speed as it moved closer to the Pearl River Estuary.
As a result, gale force winds can be expected in
many parts of the city with some squally showers today and tomorrow.

According to the latest forecast, Koinu will skirt
within 100 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong this afternoon, with typhoon
strength.
The public is advised to stay indoors and take note
of the latest weather bulletins from the Observatory.
That includes thousands of foreign domestic workers who are taking their day off today, who should head home immediately or seek safer shelter.

This is the second T8 to be issued in Hong Kong for
the past two consecutive months, with Super Typhoon Saola even causing the
typhoon signal to be raised from T8 to T10 in early September.
