Chief executive stresses government’s primary goal is to ‘ensure the safety of all people in Hong Kong’
Hong Kong’s weather forecaster will issue the No 8 warning signal at 2.20pm on Tuesday as Super Typhoon Ragasa nears, with authorities calling on members of the public with long journeys home to start making their moves.
At 12pm, Ragasa, which is expected to bring hurricane-force winds with speeds of up to 230km/h (143mph) and thunderstorms, was estimated to be about 420km southeast of Hong Kong.
The forecaster said that it would upgrade the No 3 signal to No 8 at 2.20pm as local winds would further strengthen, adding that it would assess the need to issue higher warning signals in the latter part of Tuesday night to early Wednesday.
