The Hong Kong Observatory will consider issuing typhoon signal No 3 on Wednesday if Tropical Storm Barijat edges closer to the city and brings strong winds but it also warned Hongkongers to brace themselves for Super Typhoon Mangkhut over the weekend.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mangkhut was about 2,800km away from Hong Kong in the Pacific Ocean but was forecast to move towards the South China Sea in the coming days. It has a 50 per cent chance of passing over Hong Kong in the next nine days.
How bad...
