Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong monitors the approaching typhoon Ragasa as T3 operations remain active
Tropical Storm Mitag, named after the Yapese word for "my eyes," made landfall on the coast of eastern Guangdong on Friday afternoon. The storm, which has been causing weather disturbances, made landfall near Shanwei at 4.15pm.
The Hong Kong Observatory has issued the No 3 typhoon signal at 9:20am, and it is expected to remain in force until 9am on Saturday. As a result, kindergarten classes and schools for children with physical and intellectual disabilities have been suspended for the day. Additionally, due to the ongoing threat posed by Tropical Storm Mitag, kindergarten classes will also be suspended on Saturday.
The outer rainbands of the storm are expected to bring a few squally showers to the city, with the possibility of heavy downpours at times. Forecasters have warned of the potential for squally showers and thunderstorms, although the specific time of these weather events is not specified.
Meanwhile, Cathay Pacific Airways is preparing for operational adjustments due to a potential super typhoon next week. However, as of now, the storm has not yet made landfall.
The forecaster provided information about Tropical Storm Mitag's landfall, but the search results do not provide the name of the meteorologist or the leadership of the Hong Kong Observatory who predicted Typhoon Mitag and issued the No. 3 Typhoon Signal for Hong Kong.
As Tropical Storm Mitag continues to move through the region, residents are encouraged to stay informed and follow any safety instructions issued by local authorities. The Hong Kong Observatory will continue to monitor the storm and provide updates as necessary.
