RUMBIA made landfall at Leizhou Peninsula earlier today, and has been losing strength since then. At 8 pm, RUMBIA was centred about 590 km (320 NM) WNW of Hong Kong. All tropical cyclone signals were cancelled at 9:40 am.
RUMBIA is the 22nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, and is a type of palm tree that yields sago. This name was used in 2000 and 2006.
RUMBIA has further intensified into a typhoon while edging closer to eastern Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula. At 8 pm, RUMBIA was centred about 390 km (210 NM) SW of Hong Kong. The #3 Strong Wind Signal was issued at 1:15 pm.
RUMBIA is the 22nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, and is a type of palm tree that yields sago. This name was used in 2000 and 2006.
The subtropical ridge has weakened slightly. RUMBIA is expected to move NW to NNW towards western Guangdong at a reduced speed, and landfall will occur within the next 12 hours.
Current T-number: T4.0/4.0/D1.0/24 HRS
RUMBIA benefited from high sea temperatures and an eye was visible in satellite imageries. The storm is expected to maintain current intensity until landfall, after which rapid weakening should take place.

溫比亞受惠於良好海溫而增強，衛星雲圖曾出現一風眼。預料溫比亞將維持強度至登陸，隨後快速減弱。

Strong southeasterly winds are currently affecting the territory with squally showers, and RUMBIA is making its closest approach to Hong Kong. As RUMBIA makes landfall tomorrow, winds and rain will subside gradually. The subtropical ridge will then reinstate its influence and sunny skies are expected by Wednesday.
RUMBIA crossed the Philippines last night and intensified into a severe tropical storm tonight in 1-minute wind speed standard. At 8 pm, RUMBIA was centred about 710 km (390 NM) SSE of Hong Kong. The #1 Standby Signal was issued at 9:10 pm.
RUMBIA is the 22nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, and is a type of palm tree that yields sago. This name was used in 2000 and 2006.
RUMBIA's brief WNW movement last night has resulted in a westward shift of the track forecast. The storm is expected to move northwest along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. The ridge may weaken slightly later but should not have great impact on RUMBIA's track.
Current T-number: T3.0/3.0/D0.5/24 HRS
RUMBIA's structure is becoming more intact, while shear in the South China Sea has dropped somewhat. RUMBIA may be able to intensify prior to landfall, and weaken rapidly afterwards.
現時的 T 號碼: T3.0/3.0/D0.5/24 HRS
溫比亞的結構變得更為緊密，而南海的垂直風切變已有所減弱。溫比亞預料會於登陸前增強，隨後快速減弱。

According to the present forecast track, local weather will deteriorate tomorrow with winds strengthening from the east, veering to southeast at night and reaching strong force level. Squally showers are expected in the next two days.
RUMBIA is the 22nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Malaysia, and is a type of palm tree that yields sago. This name was used in 2000 and 2006.
RUMBIA is situated in the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. Under its influence the storm is expected to track northwest quickly at around 30 km/h. The ridge may weaken slightly later and that will lead to a more poleward movement.
Current T-number: T2.5/2.5/D0.5/30 HRS
RUMBIA's spiraling cloud bands are apparent. The storm is not expected to intensify while it crosses Luzon, but may develop slightly as it crosses the South China Sea if shear alleviates. It will be difficult for RUMBIA to intensify greatly due to the limited time until landfall.
現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/D0.5/30 HRS
溫比亞的螺旋雲帶明顯。預料溫比亞於橫過呂宋時不會增強，但於南海時如垂直風切變放緩將有發展空間。由於溫比亞速度較快，其發展時間有限，預計不能大幅增強。

According to the present forecast track, local weather will deteriorate on Monday (July 1), with winds strengthening from the northeast. How wind direction is going to change depends critically on RUMBIA's track after emergence from Luzon. In any case squally showers are expected on Monday and Tuesday.
06W is situated SW of the subtropical ridge and is expected to move NW steadily across the Philippines.
06W 處於副熱帶高壓脊西南部，預料穩定向西北移動，橫過菲律賓。

06W is gradually developing. However, the Philippine landmass is going to impede storm development, and shear in the South China Sea is likely another hurdle for 06W.
現時的 T 號碼: T2.0/2.0/INT OBS
06W 逐步發展，但菲律賓陸地對其發展有一定影響，而南海風切較強亦是另一阻礙。
