燦都於下午接近 2 時登陸湛江附近，之前進一步增強。在 20 HKT，燦都集結在香港以西約 450 公里 (250 海里)。香港天文台於 7 月 22 日上午 11 時 40 分發出一號戒備信號，取代三號強風信號。所有熱帶氣旋警告信號於同日下午 2 時 40 分解除。

CHANTHU is the 99th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Cambodia, and is the name of a type of flower. This name was last used in 2004.

CHANTHU shifts to the west while reorganizing itself earlier today, and currently it is still situated in the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A northwesterly motion is expected until landfall, after which the ridge may extend to allow a more westward movement.

昨夜燦都環流整固，期間中心向西移。燦都現時仍處於副熱帶高壓脊之西南部。預料燦都將向西北移動直至登陸，其後副高將有望西伸並令燦都路徑之偏西分量增加。

Current T-number: T4.0/4.0/D1.0/24 HRS
CHANTHU tightened its cloud bands today and has significantly strengthened. It is expected to maintain the current strength or intensify slightly until landfall, and rapid weakening is expected afterwards.

現時的 T 號碼: T4.0/4.0/D1.0/24 HRS
燦都的雲帶變得緊密，強度亦明顯提升。預料燦都將於登陸前維持強度或稍為增強，隨後急速減弱。

23 HKT, 2010/07/22 (Thu 四) or earlier 或更早

CHANTHU has further intensified and has taken a more northwesterly track today. At 20 HKT, CHANTHU was centred about 450 km (240 NM) S of Hong Kong. The Standby Signal was issued at 12:15 HKT on July 20.

燦都繼續增強，並於今天採取一個較西北的路徑。在 20 HKT，燦都集結在香港以南約 450 公里 (240 海里)。一號戒備信號於 7 月 20 日下午 12 時 15 分發出。

CHANTHU is now situated in the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A northwesterly motion is expected until landfall, after which the ridge may extend to allow a more westward movement.

燦都現處於副熱帶高壓脊之西南部。預料燦都將向西北移動直至登陸，其後副高將有望西伸並令燦都路徑之偏西分量增加。

Current T-number: T3.0/3.0/D0.5/24 HRS
CHANTHU failed to wrap convective clouds in all quadrants into its centre efficiently, leading to a low rate of intensification. Some strengthening is still expected prior to landfall due to favourable ambient conditions, and rapid weakening is expected afterwards.

現時的 T 號碼: T3.0/3.0/D0.5/24 HRS
燦都未能有效把每個象限的對流雲帶捲入中心，其增強速度仍然較慢。在仍然良好的環境下，燦都應可於登陸前繼續增強。燦都將於登陸後急速減弱。

Winds are expected to strengthen from the east tomorrow with squally showers. Winds and rain will intensify later tomorrow and the wind direction will gradually turn clockwise to the southeast.

The subtropical ridge is now gradually retreating. An increasingly poleward movement is expected until t+48 or t+72, after which the subtropical ridge may extend again to allow a more northwestward path.

副熱帶高壓脊正逐漸東退。預料燦都將逐漸以較北的路徑前進直至 48 或 72 小時後，其後副高將有望西伸並令燦都轉回較西北之路徑。

Current T-number: T2.5/2.5/D0.5/24 HRS
CHANTHU's convection was loosely organized and took quite some time to consolidate. In a very favourable environment, CHANTHU is expected to intensify before t+48, possibly into a severe tropical storm or typhoon. Weakening is expected afterwards as land interaction and increasing shear set in.

現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/D0.5/24 HRS
燦都的對流較為鬆散，需要一段時間來整合。在極為良好的環境下，燦都應能在 48 小時內增強至強烈熱帶風暴或颱風強度。其後由於系統接近陸地並預料垂直風切變將有所提升，燦都將開始減弱。

Winds are expected to strengthen from the east on Wednesday with squally showers. Winds and rain will intensify on Thursday and the wind direction will gradually turn to the southeast.

Tropical disturbance 98W near the Philippines has intensified into a tropical depression (04W). At 20 HKT, 04W was centred about 100 km (55 NM) NNW of Manila.

在菲律賓附近的熱帶擾動 98W 已增強為熱帶低氣壓 04W。在 20 HKT，04W 集結在馬尼拉西北偏北約 100 公里 (55 海里)。

N/A 不適用

04W is initially expected to move W in the southern part of the western extension of the subtropical ridge. The ridge will be eroded by a passing mid-latitude trough to allow increasingly poleward movement later on.

預料 04W 初時會沿副熱帶高壓脊西部延伸之南部向偏西方向移動。及後一道西風槽的到來將令副高東退，並令 04W 路徑的偏北分量逐漸增加。

Current T-number: N/A
Interaction with Luzon is currently hindering 04W's development. As the system moves into the South China Sea, intensification is expected in a pool of very warm water and very low vertical wind shear and good divergence aloft.

現時的 T 號碼: 不適用
受呂宋陸地影響，04W 現在發展緩慢。隨著該系統移入南海，預料該地的溫暖海水、低垂直風切變和良好高空輻散將有利 04W 增強。

Winds are expected to strengthen from the east on Tuesday or Wednesday with squally showers. Exact effects will depend on 04W's landfall location, which in turn relies on the system's position after emerging from the Philippines and the rate at which the subtropical ridge is retreating.

預料本港東風將於周二或周三增強，並有驟雨。確切的影響將取決於 04W 的登陸地點，而登陸地點將受 04W 離開菲律賓的位置和副高東退的速度影響。
