Gales are currently observed in the territory and the wind direction has changed to the southwest. Sea levels are currently higher than normal; low-lying areas are at risk of flooding. Winds will remain strong in the next couple of hours with squally showers, and are expected to diminish gradually this afternoon.

香港正吹烈風，風向已轉為西南。現時海水水位比正常高，低窪地區有水浸風險。預料較強風速會於未來數小時維持，並伴隨狂風驟雨，風勢會於下午逐漸緩和。

2016/08/02 (Tue 二), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

Despite NIDA's close approach, winds have been weaker than expected and the #9 Increasing Gale or Storm Signal was deemed unnecessary. The Observatory has indicated that the #3 Strong Wind Signal will be considered between noon and 2 pm.

雖然妮妲曾非常接近香港，但風勢比預期弱，九號烈風或暴風增強信號無需發出。天文台已表示將考慮於中午至下午 2 時改發三號強風信號。

NIDA has intensified slightly and is several hours away from making landfall near Hong Kong. At midnight, NIDA was centred about 140 km (75 NM) E of Hong Kong. The #8 Northwest Gale or Storm Signal was issued at 8:40 pm yesterday.

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

NIDA's eye remains large and the strongest convections are to its south. It should maintain its current intensity before landfall, after which rapid weakening is expected.

妮妲的風眼仍然頗大，較強對流於其南面。預料妮妲登陸前維持強度，隨後快速減弱。

Strong to gale force winds are currently affecting Hong Kong. However, NIDA's inner eyewall will strike Hong Kong soon, at which point winds will surge rapidly, possibly reaching storm force. Part of NIDA's eye may reach the territory and temporary calmness is possible at some places. Squally showers will persist as wind direction changes from northwest to southwest overnight. Note that astronomical high tide occurs on Tuesday morning and may exacerbate the effect of storm surge at low-lying areas. Please remain indoors and refer regularly to the latest developments of the tropical cyclone.

香港正普遍受強風至烈風影響。預料妮妲的內眼壁即將掠過本港，屆時風勢會進一步增強，或達暴風程度。妮妲風眼部分範圍或觸及香港，部分地區風勢有機會暫時轉為平靜。狂風驟雨將繼續影響本港，風向於凌晨由西北轉為西南。注意周二早上適逢天文大潮，或加劇風暴潮對低窪地區的影響。請留在室內安全地方，並定時留意最新熱帶氣旋發展。

2016/08/02 (Tue 二), morning 早上 (or earlier 或更早)

Given that NIDA will be extremely close to Hong Kong, the #9 Increasing Gale or Storm Signal is quite likely (within next 6 hours and may be cancelled before t+12). Issuance of the #10 Hurricane Signal is only possible if sustained hurricane force winds is observed in the territory.

由於妮妲將非常接近本港，預料發出九號烈風或暴風增強信號的機會頗大 (於未來 6 小時內；t+12 之時或已取消)。至於十號颶風信號只會於本地錄得持續颶風時才有可能發出。

NIDA has intensified into a typhoon and is now moving WNW to NW steadily, approaching southern China coastal areas. At 2 pm, NIDA was centred about 380 km (210 NM) ESE of Hong Kong. The #1 Standby Signal was issued at 10:10 pm last night, and was replaced by the #3 Strong Wind Signal at 11:40 am today.

妮妲已增強為颱風，並穩定向西北偏西至西北移動，靠近華南沿岸。在下午 2 時，妮妲集結在香港東南偏東約 380 公里 (210 海里)。香港天文台於昨晚 10 時 10 分發出一號戒備信號，其後於今天上午 11 時 40 分改發三號強風信號。

預料妮妲將沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北偏西移動，凌晨時段於珠江口附近地區登陸，登陸點較大機會於香港以東。登陸後，妮妲的路徑將漸轉偏西。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T4.0/4.0/D0.5/24 HRS

NIDA has developed a rather large banding eye. It is still expected to intensify over the next 12 hours in warm seas with decent divergence aloft. The storm will weaken quickly after landfall.

妮妲發展出一較大雲捲風眼。在溫暖的洋面及良好高空輻散的環境下，預料妮妲可於未來 12 小時增強，並將於登陸後減弱。

NIDA's outer rainbands are now affecting Hong Kong. The storm is expected to be very close to Hong Kong tonight and northwesterly winds will pick up rapidly after sunset, reaching gale force and possibly storm force offshore. According to the present analysis, NIDA is more likely to make landfall east of the territory, and in this situation winds will back from the northwest to southwest early tomorrow. Note that astronomical high tide occurs on Tuesday morning and may exacerbate the effect of storm surge if NIDA comes close at that time. Please take all necessary precautions as soon as possible and refer regularly to the latest developments of the tropical cyclone.

妮妲的外圍雨帶已開始影響香港。預料風暴今晚將非常接近本港，日落後西北風將快速增強至烈風程度，離岸可能吹暴風。按照目前分析，妮妲較大可能於香港以東登陸，在此情況下風向會於明日由西北逆轉至西南。注意周二早上適逢天文大潮，如風暴屆時靠近本港或會加劇風暴潮的影響。請盡早完成所有防風措施，並定時留意最新熱帶氣旋發展。

2016/08/02 (Tue 二), in the small hours 凌晨 (or earlier 或更早)

The Observatory has already indicated that the #8 Gale or Storm Signal will be considered between 6 and 10 pm tonight.

天文台已表示將於今晚 6 至 10 時考慮改發八號烈風或暴風信號。

06W was named NIDA yesterday and intensified into a severe tropical storm this morning. NIDA is now crossing the northern tip of Luzon. At 2 pm, NIDA was centred about 400 km (220 NM) NNE of Manila.

06W 昨日被命名為妮妲，今晨增強為強烈熱帶風暴，現正橫過呂宋北端。在下午 2 時，妮妲集結在馬尼拉東北偏北約 400 公里 (220 海里)。

NIDA is the 96th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Thailand, and is a female's name. This name was used in 2004 and 2009.

妮妲為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 96 個名字，由泰國提供，為一女性名字。此名曾於 2004 及 2009 年使用。

NIDA is moving northwest along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge that extends westwards into central China. NIDA is expected to maintain such motion in the next 12 to 24 hours, and then turn WNW gradually towards southern China with a slight increase in speed. Numerical models have now come to better agreement and the storm is expected to reach the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary early Tuesday. NIDA should continue to track WNW turning to W upon landfall.

妮妲正沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北移動，該高壓脊西伸至中國中部。預料妮妲將於未來 12 至 24 小時維持現時路徑，其後向西北偏西移動，並略為加速，趨向華南沿岸。數值預報模式的預測漸趨一致，預料風暴會於周二早段時間到達珠江口附近區域。登陸後，妮妲將繼續向西北偏西轉西移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D1.0/24 HRS

NIDA's convections has tightened over the past 24 hours. The storm is not expected to lose much strength as it will only barely touch northern Philippines. Some intensification is likely when NIDA moves across the South China Sea due to the very warm sea temperatures (around 30 degrees), but vertical wind shear appears to have risen somewhat. The storm will weaken rapidly after landfall.

妮妲的對流於過去 24 小時變得緊密。由於預料風暴只輕微觸碰菲律賓北部，明顯減弱的可能性不高。南海海溫較高 (約 30 度)，但垂直風切變略為提升，預料風暴橫過時仍能增強。登陸後，妮妲將急速減弱。

Since models have come to better agreement, NIDA now poses a serious threat to the territory. As the storm approaches, it will be very hot and hazy early tomorrow. Northerly winds will strengthen later and the weather is expected to deteriorate rapidly at night. The exact sequence of wind direction changes will depend on whether the storm makes landfall east or west of Hong Kong, but in any case gales are very likely early Tuesday, with a possibility of cyclonic winds if the storm makes landfall in the territory. Note that astronomical high tide occurs on Tuesday morning and may exacerbate the effect of storm surge if NIDA comes close at that time. Please take all necessary precautions as soon as possible and refer regularly to the latest developments of the tropical cyclone.

由於模式預報較為一致，妮妲現在對香港構成嚴重威脅。隨著風暴靠近，本港明日初時天氣酷熱並有煙霞。稍後北風將增強，預料天氣會於晚間急劇轉壞。確切風向轉變取決於風暴於本港以東或以西登陸，但無論如何周二很大機會吹烈風，如氣旋登陸香港更有可能吹旋風。注意周二早上適逢天文大潮，如風暴屆時靠近本港或會加劇風暴潮的影響。請盡早完成所有防風措施，並定時留意最新熱帶氣旋發展。

2016/08/01 (Mon 一), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

Updated at August 1 01:40 am: Fixed an issue that resulted in under-representation of track variability. The respective tables in bulletin #1 have also been updated.

於 8 月 1 日上午 1 時 40 分更新：修正有關未能充分反映路徑不確定性之問題，發佈 #1 的相關列表亦已修正。

Tropical disturbance 96W east of the Philippines intensified into tropical depression 06W last night, and is now a tropical storm based on 1-minute average wind speeds. At 2 pm, 06W was centred about 590 km (320 NM) E of Manila.

於菲律賓以東的熱帶擾動 96W 昨晚增強為熱帶低氣壓 06W ，以一分鐘平均風速標準現已達熱帶風暴強度。在下午 2 時，06W 集結在馬尼拉以東約 590 公里 (320 海里)。

N/A 不適用

06W is moving NNW along the western periphery of the subtropical ridge that extends westwards into China at higher latitudes. As 06W moves further north, it will reach the southern end of that westward extension and should gradually turn NW to WNW, moving into the South China Sea.

06W 正沿副熱帶高壓脊西部向西北偏北移動。該高壓脊於較高緯度西伸至中國；隨著 06W 北移，它將到達該延伸南端，預料會逐漸轉向西北或西北偏西移動，進入南海。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/INT OBS

06W has a rather loose core but there are signs of consolidation over the past 6 hours. It is expected to traverse very warm seas (around 30 degrees) with low vertical wind shear, and should see steady intensification as it moves across Luzon Strait.

06W 的中心部分較為鬆散，但過去 6 小時有跡象整合。預料 06W 將橫過非常溫暖的洋面 (約 30 度)，加上沿途垂直風切變較低，風暴應能於橫過呂宋海峽時穩定增強。

According to the present forecast track, 06W will be very close to Hong Kong on Tuesday. It is expected to be very hot locally with haze on Monday, and the weather may deteriorate rapidly on Tuesday. As there is still some uncertainty to 06W's future track and intensity, it is not yet possible to predict with high accuracy the time and location of landfall, and hence the extent of its effect to Hong Kong.

按照目前預測路徑，06W 會於周二非常接近香港。預料香港周一將酷熱有煙霞，而天氣或會於周二急速轉壞。由於 06W 未來路徑及強度仍有相當不確定性，現時還未能夠準確估計其登陸時間及地點，以至風暴對香港的影響程度。
