WPac: TD KAMMURI (10W) - Over SE China
Moderator: S2k Moderators
I mean in terms of looks at the time when Ed was a weak TS with the southern side being fairly convective whilst the northern quadrants being hit a little by mid level dry air...
Of course pressure are much lower with this, partly due to the much lower background pressures in the WPAC compared to the Gulf.

HKO now has Signal 8:
Bulletin issued at 08:45 HKT 06/Aug/2008
Tropical Cyclone Bulletin
Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the
Hong Kong Observatory.
The No. 8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal is in force.
This means that winds with mean speeds of 63 kilometres per
hour or more are expected from the southeast quarter.
At 9 a.m., Severe Tropical Storm Kammuri was centred about
150 kilometres south of Hong Kong (near 21.0 degrees north
113.9 degrees east) and is forecast to move west-northwest
at about 14 kilometres per hour, edging closer to Hong
Kong.
As Kammuri continued to move west-northwest , gale force
winds are affecting the territory with storm force winds
over offshore waters and high grounds. Local wind is
changing from northeast to southeast. Areas previously
sheltered from the winds will become exposed. Members of
the public should beware of the change in wind direction
and take precautions as soon as possible.
In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at
Waglan Island, Sai Kung and Cheung Chau were 87, 66 and 88
kilometres per hour respectively.

Re: WPac: STS KAMMURI (TS 10W) - Near Hong Kong
Ngong Ping, not far from Hong Kong airport recorded some insane winds. Admittedly it is at 500m! I'd love to get up there with my anemometer!

A storm has caused the suspension of training for British athletes and disrupted preparation for the Olympic equestrian events in Hong Kong.
Tropical storm Kammuri brought heavy rain and strong winds to Macau, where Team GB's holding camp is based.
British heptathlete Kelly Sotherton said the squad was told to stay inside.
Meanwhile, the arrival of two planes carrying 24 show jumping horses from China, America and the United Arab Emirates was delayed.
All are expected to arrive in Hong Kong, ready for the competition which starts on Saturday, as soon as the weather clears.
"It will weaken gradually by Saturday," Leung Wing-mo, a senior scientific officer with the Hong Kong observatory said. "If anything, a trough of low pressure will just bring showers."
Sotherton, a bronze medallist in Athens four years ago, said the conditions were frustrating for the athletes.
"We can't leave the hotel because when there's a typhoon at this Level 8 all the transport is cancelled, so unfortunately we are all holed up in a hotel," she said.
