DIANMU intensified into a severe tropical storm as it travels across the Gulf of Tonkin. At 8 am, DIANMU was centred about 190 km (100 NM) ESE of Hanoi.

電母已增強為強烈熱帶風暴，正橫過北部灣。在上午 8 時，電母集結在河內東南偏東約 190 公里 (100 海里)。

DIANMU is the 100th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning the Mother of Lightning. This name was used in 2004 and 2010.

電母為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 100 個名字，由中國提供，意思為電之母。此名曾於 2004 及 2010 年使用。

The ridge in China is strengthening, and DIANMU is expected to accelerate to the west in the rest of the forecast period. It will make landfall at northern Vietnam later today.

盤據中國的高壓脊正在增強，預料電母會於餘下時間加速西移，並於今天稍後登陸越南北部。

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

Warm seas in the Gulf of Tonkin are conducive to tropical cyclone development, and DIANMU is still strengthening despite its proximity to land. The storm should remain as a severe tropical storm before landfall, and weaken gradually afterwards.

北部灣海溫較高，有利熱帶氣旋發展，電母雖然近岸但仍在增強。預料電母將維持強烈熱帶風暴強度直至登陸，隨後逐漸減弱。

The unsettled weather associated with DIANMU's outer rainbands is expected to end tomorrow, and the weather will improve gradually.

與電母外圍雨帶相關的不穩定天氣將於明日完結，天氣將逐漸改善。

95W has intensified into a tropical storm, and was named DIANMU by the JMA. The JTWC upgraded the system into a tropical depression and assigned to it the storm number 11W. At 11 am, DIANMU was centred about 310 km (170 NM) WSW of Hong Kong. The #3 Strong Wind Signal was issued at 10:15 pm last night, but was replaced by the #1 Standby Signal just now at 11:15 am.

Update at 1:20 pm: The #1 Standby Signal was cancelled at 1:15 pm.

95W 已增強為熱帶風暴，被日本氣象廳命名為電母。聯合颱風警報中心亦將此系統升格為熱帶低氣壓，並給予風暴編號 11W。在上午 11 時，電母集結在香港西南偏西約 310 公里 (170 海里)。天文台於昨晚 10 時 15 分發出三號強風信號，但此信號剛於上午 11 時 15 分被一號戒備信號取代。

於下午 1 時 20 分更新：一號戒備信號已於下午 1 時 15 分取消。

DIANMU is the 100th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning the Mother of Lightning. This name was used in 2004 and 2010.

電母為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 100 個名字，由中國提供，意思為電之母。此名曾於 2004 及 2010 年使用。

DIANMU is now moving westwards at a higher speed. As the ridge in China strengthens, DIANMU is expected to accelerate to the west, crossing the Gulf of Tonkin early tomorrow and making landfall at northern Vietnam tomorrow afternoon to nighttime.

電母現以較高速度西移。隨著盤據中國的高壓脊增強，預料電母會加速西移，於明日早段橫過北部灣，下午至晚間登陸越南北部。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/D1.0/24 HRS

更多對流沿電母中心捲動。由於電母的對流通道良好，加上海溫偏高 (尤其是北部灣)，預料風暴會於未來 24 小時增強，並於登陸越南北部後快速減弱。

Strongest winds in Hong Kong were generally observed overnight. As DIANMU moves away, winds are now weakening gradually. Unstable weather associated with DIANMU is expected to affect the territory in the rest of today and tomorrow.

本港風勢於凌晨時份最大。隨著電母遠離，現時風勢已逐漸減弱。與電母相關的不穩定天氣會於今明兩日繼續影響本港。

The probabilities are based on the time of observation (11 am); the #3 Strong Wind Signal was replaced by the #1 Standby Signal at 11:15 am.

機率基於觀測時間 (上午 11 時)；天文台已於上午 11 時 15 分改發一號戒備信號，取代三號強風信號。

Monsoon depression 95W, which has been lingering around northern South China Sea for several days, has transformed into a tropical depression. At 2 pm, 95W was centred about 210 km (110 NM) SW of Hong Kong. The #1 Standby Signal was issued at 11:30 am.

於南海北部徘徊多日的季風低壓 95W 已轉化為一熱帶氣旋。在下午 2 時，95W 集結在香港西南約 210 公里 (110 海里)。天文台於上午 11 時 30 分發出一號戒備信號。

There is currently a weak high pressure cell in central China, and is causing 95W to drift west slowly. The high pressure cell is expected to intensify gradually over the next 72 hours, providing stronger steering force to 95W to the west. 95W should make landfall near Leizhou Peninsula tomorrow, and again in northern Vietnam on Friday.

現時中國中部有一弱高壓，正使 95W 向西緩慢移動。預料該高壓將於未來 72 小時逐漸增強，為 95W 提供更強西移的動力。95W 將於明日在雷州半島一帶登陸，並於星期五登陸越南北部。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T1.5/1.5/INT OBS

95W 的中心似乎變得較為穩定，風暴的旋捲性漸見明顯。95W 以南有猛烈對流活動，為風暴提供充足水氣。雖然 95W 較為近岸，但由於其對流通道良好，加上海溫偏高 (尤其是北部灣)，預料風暴會於未來 48 小時穩步增強。95W 將於登陸越南北部後快速減弱。

The weather in Hong Kong has been unstable recently due to the presence of 95W. Although the storm is moving away from Hong Kong, it does so very slowly and is yet intensifying. Winds in Hong Kong may strengthen tonight, blowing in from the southeast. There will also be some squally showers in the next two days.

受 95W 的影響，香港近日天氣不穩定。雖然風暴正逐漸遠離，但其西移速度甚慢，加上風暴正在增強，本港今晚東南風或會加強。預料未來兩天間中有狂風驟雨。

The Observatory indicated earlier that the #3 Strong Wind Signal may be considered later today.

天文台表示將於今日稍後考慮改發三號強風信號。
