Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) said that the Standby Signal, No. 1 is hoisted. Toraji will still maintain a distance of about 400 km or above from Hong Kong for most of the time today. The associated strong winds will not affect the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary yet. The Standby Signal, No. 1 will remain in force at least until midnight.

As Toraji edges closer to the coast of southern China, under its combined effect with the northeast monsoon, winds over the region will strengthen gradually. The Observatory will consider issuing the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 during the day tomorrow (13th).

It is also expected that Toraji will skirt around 200 km to the south of the territory on Thursday morning (14th). Depending on the intensity of Toraji at that time, the distance of its associated gale winds from the Pearl River Estuary and the change in local wind conditions, the Observatory will assess the need of issuing higher Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals.
