The ridge north of HAIKUI continues to weaken. HAIKUI is expected to move NW towards eastern China, after which the storm will decelerate further as ridge influence diminishes.

海葵以北的高壓脊繼續減弱。預料海葵將向西北移動，趨向中國東部，其後脊場牽引減弱將令海葵進一步減速。

Current T-number: T4.5/4.5/D0.5/24 HRS

HAIKUI is expected to move WNW and make landfall at eastern China two days later. The subtropical ridge will be weakened by arriving troughs, and this should allow HAIKUI to turn NW near or after landfall.

預料海葵向西北偏西移動，兩天後登陸中國東部。受西風槽影響副熱帶高壓脊將會減弱，海葵或會於登陸前後轉向西北移動。

Current T-number: T3.5/3.5/D0.5/18 HRS
HAIKUI's spiraling bands are wrapping around the centre where a central dense overcast appears to be developing. Warm seas and low shear should allow decent storm development before landfall. Rapid weakening will then follow.

現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D0.5/18 HRS
海葵的螺旋雲帶圍繞中心轉動，中心密集雲區正在形成。受惠於溫暖海水和微弱風切，預料海葵將於登陸前明顯增強。登陸後海葵將快速減弱。

As HAIKUI approaches eastern China, its subsiding air will bring very hot weather with haze on Tuesday.

隨著海葵靠近中國東部，其下沉氣流將於周二為本港帶來酷熱有煙霞的天氣。

海葵快速向西移動。在下午 8 時，海葵集結在沖繩島以東約 370 公里 (200 海里)。

HAIKUI is the second name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning sea anemone. This name replaces LONGWANG which caused significant damage to Taiwan and mainland China in 2005.

海葵為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 2 個名字，由中國提供。此名字代替曾於 2005 年為台灣和中國大陸帶來嚴重破壞的颱風龍王。

HAIKUI has been moving faster than previously expected. Steered by the subtropical ridge to its north, HAIKUI should make landfall at Zhejiang province before any significant change in direction occurs. The storm will be decelerating as the ridge weakens later.

海葵移速較預期快。受其北面的副熱帶高壓脊影響，預料海葵將維持偏西路徑，於浙江登陸，隨後可能轉向。由於副高將減弱，海葵的前進速度亦會逐漸降低。

Current T-number: T3.0/3.0/D0.5/24 HRS

Another tropical disturbance has gradually intensified into tropical storm 12W, which was named HAIKUI. At 14 HKT, HAIKUI was centred about 100 km (55 NM) WSW of Iwo Jima.

另一熱帶擾動逐步增強為熱帶風暴 12W，被命名為海葵。在下午 2 時，海葵集結在硫磺島西南偏西約 100 公里 (55 海里)。

HAIKUI is the second name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning sea anemone. This name replaces LONGWANG which caused significant damage to Taiwan and mainland China in 2005.

海葵為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 2 個名字，由中國提供。此名字代替曾於 2005 年為台灣和中國大陸帶來嚴重破壞的颱風龍王。

The broad subtropical ridge north of HAIKUI is expected to guide the storm towards the WNW in the next 72 hours. All numerical models converge to the outcome of the ridge significantly retreating at around t+72, rendering the storm motionless. As the ridge rebuilds and reorients east of HAIKUI at that time, the storm is expected to turn north.

海葵以北的廣闊副熱帶高壓脊將於未來 72 小時帶領海葵向西北偏西移動。所有數值預報模式皆預料副高將於 72 小時後明顯東退，令海葵處於停滯狀態。預測副高隨後將於海葵以東重新建立，海葵將轉向偏北移動。

Current T-number: T2.5/2.5/INT OBS
Seas are warm with low shear that should allow storm development throughout the forecast period. The additional divergence channels brought by the arriving trough near t+72 are expected to boost intensification.

現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/INT OBS
海葵一帶海面溫暖，風切微弱，預料海葵將於預測期內增強。隨著西風槽於約 72 小時後到來，槽前輻散將有利海葵快速增強。

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

海葵於未來的 72 小時將不會對香港構成任何影響。
