T3 raised, but higher signal unlikely

 

T3 brought a bit of chill to participants of an alumni event at Repulse Bay, but no rain

The Hong Kong Observatory raised the strong wind signal no 3 at 3:40pm today, Saturday, as super typhoon Yinxing moves towards the city.

The T3 signal is expected to remain in force until 10 am tomorrow, Sunday, but a higher signal is not likely to be raised.

According to the forecast, Yinxing will move around more than 300 kilometers south of Hong Kong from tonight to tomorrow. It is not expected to affect the city unless it veers to the north, closer  to the Pearl Rive Estuary.

Yinxing, which was named Marce in the Philippines, left a trail of destruction in the northern part of the country, particularly Cagayan, where it made a landfall.

The approach of Yinxing brought cooler weather to Hong Kong, along with a bit of strong wind.

Despite the relatively mild weather condition, an annual cross-harbour swim fest scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled.

Organizers of the "New World Harbour Race 2024" decided to call off the event which would have seen thousands of swimmers cross the harbour from Wanchai to Tsim Sha Tsui, after the Observatory announced it would raise the T3 signal due to Yinxing’s approach.
