MEGI made landfall in Fujian this morning, and is moving west towards inland areas. The storm has also weakened into a severe tropical storm. At 2 pm, MEGI was centred about 390 km (210 NM) NE of Hong Kong. The HK Observatory issued the #1 Standby Signal at 8:40 am today.

鮎魚今早於福建登陸，其後西移並深入內陸，亦已減弱為強烈熱帶風暴。在下午 2 時，鮎魚集結在香港東北約 390 公里 (210 海里)。香港天文台於今早 8 時 40 分發出一號戒備信號。

MEGI is the 109th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by South Korea, meaning catfish. This name was used in 2004 and 2010, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

鮎魚為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 109 個名字，由南韓提供，為一種在河流或湖泊常見的魚。此名曾於 2004 及 2010 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

MEGI is still moving west but upper level charts show that a weakness in the subtropical ridge has been created just north of the storm. With competing steering from the continental ridge to its west, MEGI is expected to decelerate soon. The storm may turn poleward before it dissipates near t+24.

鮎魚繼續西移，但高層天氣圖顯示副熱帶高壓脊出現弱點，位置於鮎魚的北方。由於鮎魚以西有一大陸高壓脊導致部分流場抵銷，預料它即將減速。鮎魚或於約 24 小時後消散前轉向較北方向移動。

MEGI is weakening gradually on land and its convective banding is becoming loose. The storm will continue to weaken and degenerate into an area of low pressure by t+24.

鮎魚正於陸上逐漸減弱，其螺旋雲帶漸變鬆散。風暴將繼續減弱，並於 24 小時內成為一低壓區。

MEGI has a rather wide wind radius and this caused winds in Hong Kong to pick up this morning, necessitating the Standby Signal. As the storm continues to weaken, local winds are expected to subside gradually tonight. However, MEGI's remnants will still bring showers to the territory tomorrow.

鮎魚的風圈較為廣闊，本港風勢於今早增強，導致天文台發出戒備信號。隨著風暴繼續減弱，預料本港風力將於今晚放緩，但其殘餘將於明日為本港帶來驟雨。

2016/09/29 (Thu 四), morning 上午 (or earlier 或更早)

The Observatory has indicated that the Standby Signal will remain in force for some time today, implying that it is likely to be cancelled before midnight.

天文台表示戒備信號將於今日維持一段時間，暗示信號較大機會於午夜前取消。

MEGI has just made landfall near Hualien as a category 3 typhoon. At 2 pm, MEGI was centred about 110 km (60 NM) S of Taipei.

鮎魚剛以三級颱風強度於花蓮附近登陸。在下午 2 時，鮎魚集結在台北以南約 110 公里 (60 海里)。

MEGI is the 109th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by South Korea, meaning catfish. This name was used in 2004 and 2010, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

MEGI has been moving more poleward than expected; the storm is expected to deflect to the west as it crosses Taiwan, and then move W to WNW towards Fujian. As steering force weakens, MEGI should decelerate after t+24 as it continues to move west.

鮎魚移向比預期偏北，預料風暴將於橫過台灣時西折，其後向西至西北偏西移動，趨向福建。隨著流場減弱，預料鮎魚將於 24 小時後減速，並繼續西移。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: N/A 不適用

MEGI intensified last night and this morning, but its eye collapsed quickly upon landfall. Rapid weakening is expected as MEGI's structure is disrupted by the mountains; further weakening will occur as the storm makes landfall at Fujian. The storm is expected to weaken into an area of low pressure near t+48.

鮎魚昨晚及今早增強，但其風眼於登陸後隨即崩潰。鮎魚的結構被高山破壞，預料會快速減弱；減弱之勢將於風暴登陸福建時持續。預料風暴會於約 48 小時後減弱為低壓區。

Subsidence associated with MEGI is bringing very hot and hazy weather to Hong Kong today. As MEGI nears southern China, local winds may strengthen slightly and back to the west or northwest tomorrow and on Thursday. There will also be showers in the next few days.

與鮎魚相關的下沉氣流正為本港帶來酷熱有煙霞的天氣。隨著鮎魚靠近華南，本港風力或於周三及周四稍為增強，風向逆轉至西或西北，並有驟雨。

2016/09/28 (Wed 三), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

As MEGI moves more poleward than expected, the likelihood of tropical cyclone signal issuance has reduced substantially.

由於鮎魚路徑比預期偏北，發出熱帶氣旋信號的機會明顯下降。

MEGI has intensified slightly and is approaching Taiwan. At 2 pm, MEGI was centred about 630 km (340 NM) ESE of Kaohsiung.

鮎魚略為增強，並逐漸靠近台灣。在下午 2 時，鮎魚集結在高雄東南偏東約 630 公里 (340 海里)。

MEGI is the 109th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by South Korea, meaning catfish. This name was used in 2004 and 2010, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

MEGI will move WNW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge in the next 36 to 48 hours, and then turn west inland as it is influenced by the continental ridge. The storm should slow significantly after landfall due to competing steering from the two ridges.

鮎魚將於未來 36 至 48 小時沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北偏西移動，隨後受大陸高壓脊牽引而西移。由於兩脊流場部分抵銷，風暴登陸後移速會明顯減慢。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.0/5.0/S0.0/24 HRS

MEGI's eye appears to have consolidated over the past 12 hours. It is possible for the storm to intensify into category 3 in the next 12 hours, but cooler sea temperatures near Taiwan will serve to weaken the storm before landfall. The weakening trend will continue as the storm travels in the Taiwan Strait and later makes landfall in Fujian. MEGI is expected to degenerate into an area of low pressure by t+96.

鮎魚的風眼似乎於過去 12 小時有所整固。風暴有可能於未來 12 小時增強為三級颱風，但由於台灣附近海溫較低，預料風暴將於登陸前開始減弱。鮎魚減弱之勢將於橫過台灣海峽及登陸福建時繼續，並於 96 小時內成為一低壓區。

Subsidence associated with MEGI may cause hotter and hazy weather in Hong Kong tomorrow. As MEGI nears southern China, local winds may strengthen slightly and back to the west or northwest on Wednesday. Winds will turn southwest on Thursday. Showers will affect Hong Kong in the next few days as MEGI's rainbands approach the territory.

與鮎魚相關的下沉氣流或於明日為本港帶來較熱天氣，並有煙霞。隨著鮎魚靠近華南，本港風力將於周三稍為增強並吹西或西北風，於周四轉吹西南風。鮎魚的雨帶亦會於未來數天為本港帶來驟雨。

2016/09/27 (Tue 二), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

MEGI is moving WNW steadily and has intensified into a typhoon. At 2 pm, MEGI was centred about 1090 km (590 NM) ESE of Kaohsiung.

鮎魚正穩定向西北偏西移動，並增強為颱風。在下午 2 時，鮎魚集結在高雄東南偏東約 1090 公里 (590 海里)。

MEGI is the 109th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by South Korea, meaning catfish. This name was used in 2004 and 2010, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

MEGI will continue to move WNW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge in the next 72 hours. The storm should make landfall in southern Taiwan on Tuesday, and approach southeastern China the next day. MEGI may deflect to the west with a possibility of slight dip to the south after landfall, but there is some variability in model predictions as to the strength of the continental ridge at that time, with some predicting a weaker ridge and suggesting a turn poleward. In any case, MEGI should decelerate significantly after landfall.

鮎魚將於未來 72 小時繼續沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北偏西移動。預料風暴將於周二登陸台灣南部，並於翌日靠近中國東南沿岸。登陸後，預料鮎魚將轉西移，路徑或出現南向量，但各數值模式對於屆時大陸高壓脊強度的預測出現分歧，部分模式預計該脊將較弱，令鮎魚沿較北方向移動。但總體來說，鮎魚應於登陸後明顯減速。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.0/5.0/D1.5/24 HRS

MEGI continues to intensify in a decent environment. Some intensification is likely in the next 36 hours as vertical wind shear remains light and outflow channels are maintained, but weakening is expected after that due to lower sea temperatures. The storm will weaken at a faster pace after making landfall at Taiwan and later Fujian or Guangdong, degenerating into an area of low pressure by t+120.

鮎魚繼續於良好環境下增強。由於垂直風切變偏低，輻散通道亦能維持，預料鮎魚較大可能於未來 36 小時增強。隨後鮎魚所在之處海溫較低，預料會略為減弱，其減弱速度會於登陸台灣及福建或廣東後加快，並於 120 小時內成為一低壓區。

Subsidence associated with MEGI may cause hotter and hazy weather in Hong Kong on Tuesday. As MEGI nears southern China, local winds will strengthen and back to the northwest on Wednesday. There will also be some showers.

與鮎魚相關的下沉氣流或於周二為本港帶來較熱天氣，並有煙霞。隨著鮎魚靠近華南，本港風力將於周三增強，風向逆轉至西北，亦會有驟雨。

MEGI has picked up some speed in the past 12 hours. The storm is expected to move WNW in the next 96 hours along the southern to southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. Several numerical models indicate that MEGI may move west or deflect southwards slightly after landfall, likely due to the influence of a continental ridge expected in China near that time.

鮎魚於過去 12 小時有所加速。預料風暴將於未來 96 小時沿副熱帶高壓脊南至西南部向西北偏西移動。部分數值預報顯示，預測後期中國內陸將有一大陸高壓脊，鮎魚登陸後或向西移，其路徑甚或出現南向量。

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

MEGI's convective banding has improved considerably and is apparently developing a banding eye. With little vertical wind shear and decent sea temperatures, MEGI is expected to intensify gradually in the next 48 hours. The storm will weaken as it nears Taiwan and later Fujian.

鮎魚的對流旋捲度明顯改善，風暴似乎正在發展雲捲風眼。在低垂直風切變及良好海溫的環境下，預料鮎魚將於未來 48 小時逐漸增強。風暴將於靠近台灣及福建時減弱。

MEGI is situated south of a broad subtropical ridge covering the northwestern Pacific. The storm is expected to move WNW steadily in the entire forecast period.

一廣闊副熱帶高壓脊覆蓋西北太平洋，鮎魚處於該脊以南，預料將於整個預測期內穩定向西北偏西移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T2.0/2.0/INT OBS

MEGI is still consolidating with more convections in its eastern and southern sides. With little vertical wind shear and decent sea temperatures, the storm is expected to intensify gradually in the next 72 hours.

鮎魚正在整合，其東面及南面對流較多。在低垂直風切變及良好海溫的環境下，預料風暴將於未來 72 小時逐漸增強。
