Hong Kong tropical cyclone warning signals

Last updated

In Macau, the territory's Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau maintains a very similar system. [15] The bureau has maintained the practice of hoisting the warning signals (as well as its nighttime light signals), even as Hong Kong abandoned the practice in 2002. The signals are hoisted at Guia Fortress and the Fortaleza do Monte. In 2017, Typhoon Hato also reached Signal number 10, but Macau raised the signal late, hours after Hong Kong. [16]
