Will Typhoon Sura affect Hong Kong?

Typhoon Sura will have an impact on Hong Kong.

According to the news released by the Hong Kong Observatory, Sura's eye wall is crossing Hong Kong, posing a considerable threat to Hong Kong. Sura will pass about 40 kilometers south of the Observatory in the next few hours. It is expected that the hurricane signal No.10 will last for some time. It can be seen that Typhoon Sura has a great impact on Hong Kong.

Affected by the storm surge, the water level in low-lying areas along the coast of Hong Kong rose rapidly that night. At about 9 pm on September 1 2023, the water level in the eastern coastal area of Hong Kong rose. The highest water level in Tolo Harbour is expected to rise to about 6 meters above the chart datum near midnight, which is about 4 meters higher than the normal tide level. The highest water level may reach the historical record, and severe floods will occur in some areas, with the depth exceeding 1 m.

Matters needing attention in typhoon weather

1. Try not to go out when it is windy. If you have to go out, you must dress up eye-catching, bend over slowly, and try to grab the railings and other fixtures. Pay special attention to falling objects when walking in the street, and never go to dangerous old houses, sheds, temporary buildings, scaffolding, telephone poles, trees, billboards and other places that are in danger of collapse to take shelter from the wind and rain.

2. Strong winds brought by typhoons will blow off high-altitude articles, so it is necessary to fix scattered articles such as flowerpots, outdoor air conditioners and awnings in advance to ensure safety. Stay away from windward windows. Move valuables away from the windward window. The typhoon may cause water and power cuts, so it is necessary to reserve daily necessities in time, such as flashlights, candles, drinking water and food.

During the typhoon, there are often heavy rains. Driving in this windy and slippery weather can be summarized as "one need and two don't": slow down, pull over when the rainstorm affects the line of sight, and carefully cross the puddle caused by concentrated rainfall; Don't brake suddenly; Don't turn sharply.
