HALONG is the 56th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Vietnam, and is a city in that country. This name was used in 2002 and 2008.

夏浪為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 56 個名字，由越南提供，為一地名 (下龍)。此名曾於 2002 及 2008 年使用。

HALONG is expected to move N or NNE in the short run due to a slight dent in the subtropical ridge induced by an upper-level low. As the subtropical ridge resumes its natural N-S orientation at higher latitudes, HALONG may swing back to the west slightly (or at least move due north) before recurving into Japan.

由於一個高空低壓令副熱帶高壓脊出現一凹陷位置，預料夏浪將於短期內向北或東北偏北移動。當到達較高緯度時，副高大致回復其南北向格局，夏浪路徑或會稍為西偏，亦有機會向正北移，之後轉向東北偏北並趨向日本。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.0/5.0/D0.5/24 HRS

HALONG is showing signs of re-intensification over the past 6 hours. It is expected to reach category 3 again due to improved divergence, but land interaction should cause the storm to weaken as it nears Japan. Extratropical transition is expected 5 days later.

夏浪於過去 6 小時有跡象再度增強。受惠於西風槽前較佳輻散，預料夏浪將能重達三級颱風強度。當夏浪繼續北移，它將受日本地形影響而減弱，並於五天後轉化為溫帶氣旋。

No threat to Hong Kong is expected within the next 72 hours.

由於一個高空低壓令副熱帶高壓脊出現一凹陷位置，預料夏浪將於短期內向北或東北偏北移動。當到達較高緯度時，副高大致回復其南北向格局，夏浪路徑或會稍為西偏，之後轉向東北偏北並趨向日本。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T4.5/5.0/W0.5/24 HRS

HALONG's central dense overcast continues to shrink in size, but atmospheric conditions should be supportive of its current intensity as the storm goes north. There might be some slight intensification later on due to the improvement of divergence ahead of the mid-latitude trough. HALONG should weaken as it reaches Japan due to land interaction.

夏浪的中心密集雲區收窄，但預料夏浪北移時其周邊大氣環境能讓風暴維持強度，而它更有可能受惠於西風槽前較佳輻散而於轉向前稍為增強。當夏浪靠近日本，它將因地形影響而減弱。

夏浪已到達副熱帶高壓脊西沿，預料即將轉向偏北移動。受副高型態影響，夏浪北移初段或會稍為東移，其後副高有機會於較高緯度略為西伸，使夏浪稍為西移。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.0/6.0/W2.0/24 HRS

HALONG's eye shrank in size and eyewall cloud top temperatures have risen. Strengthening of vertical wind shear and diminishing outflow will cause HALONG to weaken in the next few days.

副熱帶高壓脊型態較為方形，預料夏浪到達該脊西沿時將顯著轉北。副高其後或於高緯度稍為西伸，從而令夏浪轉向西北偏北移，但現階段不確定性仍高。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T7.0/7.0/D2.0/24 HRS

HALONG developed a thick central dense overcast and a clear eye is embedded within it. The storm is believed to have reached maximum intensity; a drop in divergence may see the storm weaken gradually from now on, although it should remain a significant typhoon throughout the forecast period.

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D0.5/24 HRS

HALONG successfully wraps its convection to the northern semicircle, enclosing the circulation centre. However, the storm is still subject to strong vertical wind shear which will lower its rate of intensification.

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T3.0/3.0/S0.0/24 HRS

There is substantial shear along NAKRI's periphery which affects HALONG and displaces much of its convections to the south, rendering its low-level circulation centre exposed. In such condition, slower intensification is expected.

娜基莉周邊垂直風切變較高，並影響夏浪致其對流向南切離，令低層環流中心外露。在此情況下，預料夏浪的增強速度會較慢。
