The Observatory has announced that the No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal will remain in force until at least 5am on Thursday, as Tropical Storm Nalgae continued to approach the Pearl River Estuary.

As of 1am, the storm was centred around 50 kilometres south-southeast of the Hong Kong Observatory.

"Under the combined effect of Nalgae and the northeast monsoon, gale force winds are affecting the southern part of Hong Kong Island," the Observatory said in a statement.

It added that the storm would weaken further and that a lower tropical cyclone warning signal would be issued when it weakens into a tropical depression or when local winds subside significantly.
