The observatory issued the Standby Signal No 1 on Sunday evening as a tropical depression came closer to the city on its way towards Hainan.
Despite the warning, meteorologists said winds would not strengthen significantly until later on Monday.
They said a higher warning signal was unlikely before midday on Monday, but the Signal No 3 could be issued in the afternoon or evening.
At 5 am on Monday, the tropical depression was over central to northern parts of the South China Sea, about 630 km south-southeast of Hong Kong.
The observatory said the storm was forecast to intensify gradually as it moved at about 18 kilometres per hour in the general direction of Hainan.
