HONG KONG — The Hong Kong Observatory canceled all Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals at 12:10 p.m. Sunday as Typhoon Kajiki drifted farther from the city, issuing a Strong Monsoon Signal in its place minutes later.
The shift reflected a combination of Kajiki’s departure and a ridge of high pressure over southeastern China, the observatory said. Initial impacts include occasional strong winds in offshore areas and over high ground, along with squally showers, thunderstorms and swells.
Residents were urged to stay away from shorelines and avoid water sports due to the conditions.
The Standby Signal had been in effect since 9:40 p.m. Friday, marking the start of preparations for Kajiki’s approach.
