HAIMA made landfall near Shanwei at around 1 pm, and has weakened into a category 1 typhoon. At 4 pm, HAIMA was centred about 140 km (75 NM) NE of Hong Kong. The HK Observatory issued the #8 Southwest Gale or Storm Signal at 2:15 pm, replacing the Northwest Signal.

海馬於下午約 1 時登陸汕尾一帶，現時已減弱為一級颱風。在下午 4 時，海馬集結在香港東北約 140 公里 (75 海里)。香港天文台於下午 2 時 15 分發出八號西南烈風或暴風信號，取代西北信號。

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

HAIMA is about to cross the axis of the subtropical ridge to its east, and should turn north in the next 12 hours. It will then accelerate towards the northeast along the northwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge, traversing southeastern China.

副熱帶高壓脊處於海馬以東，海馬將橫過該脊脊線，預料會於未來 12 小時北移。風暴隨後將沿副高西北部向東北方偏轉，並有所加速。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: N/A 不適用

HAIMA's eye collapsed upon landfall, but its convections remain tight. The storm will weaken rapidly inland and should degenerate into an area of low pressure by t+24.

海馬的風眼於登陸後崩潰，但對流仍然緊密。預料風暴會於內陸快速減弱，並於 24 小時內減弱為低壓區。

Strong to gale force winds are still being observed in the territory, with wind direction changing to the southwest. As HAIMA weakens and moves away from Hong Kong, winds are moderating and will continue to diminish tonight. There will still be some squally showers due to HAIMA's rainbands. Please refer regularly to official forecasts and the latest development of the tropical cyclone.

現時本港仍吹強風至烈風，風向逐漸轉為西南。隨著海馬減弱及移離本港，風勢正逐漸減弱；預料此趨勢將於今晚持續，但海馬的雨帶仍會為本港帶來狂風驟雨。請定時留意官方預測及風暴最新消息。

2016/10/22 (Sat 六), in the small hours or morning 凌晨至上午 (or earlier 或更早)

HAIMA is moving away from Hong Kong. The HK Observatory will consider issuing the #3 Strong Wind Signal between 5 pm and 7 pm today.

海馬正移離本港。香港天文台將於今日下午 5 至 7 時考慮改發三號強風信號。

HAIMA is approaching southern China. At 7 am, HAIMA was centred about 210 km (120 NM) ESE of Hong Kong. The HK Observatory issued the #8 Northwest Gale or Storm Signal at 6:10 am.

海馬正逼近華南。在上午 7 時，海馬集結在香港東南偏東約 210 公里 (120 海里)。香港天文台於上午 6 時 10 分發出八號西北烈風或暴風信號。

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

HAIMA is in the western periphery of the subtropical ridge that has an extension in eastern China; the storm is now moving NW to NNW. Such motion will continue in the next 12 hours and the storm is expected to make landfall near Shanwei at around noon. It will turn north and then recurve inland along the northwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge, accelerating in the process.

海馬處於副熱帶高壓脊西部，該脊於華東有一延伸。風暴正向西北至西北偏北移動，預料此移動趨勢將於未來 12 小時繼續，風暴會於正午前後登陸汕尾一帶。預料海馬將於內陸北轉，隨後沿副高西北部向東北方偏轉，並有所加速。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.0/5.0/D0.5/24 HRS

From radar and satellite images, HAIMA's banding eye and the surrounding eyewall remains intact. Little change in intensity is expected before landfall, and rapid weakening should begin thereafter. The storm should reduce into an area of low pressure before emerging into the East China Sea.

從雷達及衛星雲圖可見，海馬的雲捲風眼及其周邊眼牆仍然完整。預料風暴登陸前強度不會有大變化，隨後將急速減弱。預測海馬會於進入東海前減弱為低壓區。

Strong to gale force northwesterly winds are currently observed in some parts of the territory. A landfall east of Hong Kong is becoming increasingly likely; as HAIMA approaches, winds will strengthen this morning and widespread gales are possible, occasionally reaching storm force offshore and on high ground. There will also be heavy squally showers. HAIMA should be closest to Hong Kong near noon or in the early afternoon; winds are expected to back to the southwest later today. Showers should diminish on Saturday. Please complete all precautionary measures and refer regularly to official forecasts and latest information on the storm.

現時本港部分地區吹強風至烈風程度西北風。預測海馬較大機會於香港以東登陸；隨著海馬靠近，今早風勢將進一步增強，廣泛地區可能吹烈風，離岸及高地或間中吹暴風，並有狂風大驟雨。海馬將於中午或下午初段最接近香港，預料風向將於今日較後時間逆轉至西南。驟雨將於周六減少。請即完成防風措施，並定時留意官方預測及風暴最新消息。

2016/10/21 (Fri 五), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

A more northerly track overnight means that the storm is likely to maintain a distance of around 100 km from Hong Kong. Higher signals are possible but not as likely, due to the sheltering effect of northwesterly winds.

The #8 Signal will likely remain in force for most of the daytime today.

海馬凌晨的路徑較為偏北，預測風暴較大可能與香港維持約 100 公里的距離。發出更高信號的機會仍然存在，但由於西北風受較多屏障影響，此機會並不大。

預料八號信號較大機會於今日日間大部分時間維持。

HAIMA crossed Luzon overnight and is now turning northwest in the South China Sea as a category 2 typhoon. At 2 pm, HAIMA was centred about 610 km (330 NM) SE of Hong Kong. The HK Observatory issued the #1 Standby Signal at 8:20 am today.

海馬凌晨橫過呂宋，現在正以二級颱風強度於南海向西北移動。在下午 2 時，海馬集結在香港東南約 610 公里 (330 海里)。香港天文台於上午 8 時 20 分發出一號戒備信號。

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

Although weakened, the subtropical ridge is still covering southeastern China and Taiwan. HAIMA is in its southwestern periphery and is expected to move northwest in the next 24 hours towards southern Guangdong, making landfall near t+24. The storm will gradually turn poleward and cross the ridge axis shortly after landfall, before recurving towards the northeast along the northwestern periphery of the ridge with increasing speed.

雖然副熱帶高壓脊有所減弱，但它仍然覆蓋中國東南部及台灣一帶。海馬處於該脊西南部，預料會於未來 24 小時向西北移動，趨向廣東南部並於約 24 小時後登陸。風暴的移向將逐步北偏，並於登陸後不久橫過副高脊線，隨後沿副高西北部向東北加速移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T4.5/5.0/W2.0/24 HRS

HAIMA's compact eye disappeared following landfall at northern Philippines last night, and has subsequently turned into a larger banding eye with slightly more convections in the southern semicircle. Sea temperatures are quite high in northeastern South China Sea, but are relatively lower near the shore. Vertical wind shear remains low to moderate. As ocean heat content decreases, HAIMA is expected to weaken in the next 24 hours, but it will likely make landfall as a typhoon and remains a significant threat to southern China. Rapid weakening ensues after landfall.

海馬的緊密風眼於昨晚登陸菲律賓北部時消失，其後發展為一較大雲捲風眼，風暴南半圓對流略多。南海東北部海溫仍然較高，但近岸相對清涼，而垂直風切變維持於低至中等水平。由於海洋熱含量較低，預料海馬將於未來 24 小時減弱，但仍以颱風強度登陸，對華南構成重大威脅。海馬將於登陸後快速減弱。

Local winds are expected to strengthen tonight, coming in from the north. The current forecast favours a landfall east of Hong Kong. As a result, the weather is expected to deteriorate rapidly tomorrow morning, with strong to gale force northwesterly winds. There will also be heavy squally showers. HAIMA should be closest to Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon; winds are expected to back to the southwest later that day. Showers should diminish on Saturday.

At this point, a direct hit scenario cannot be ruled out. If that happens, cyclonic winds of up to hurricane force may be observed in Hong Kong. Please complete all precautionary measures and refer regularly to official forecasts and latest information on the storm.

本港今晚將吹北風，風勢逐漸加強。現時預測海馬會於香港以東登陸；明日早上天氣將急速轉壞，吹強風至烈風程度西北風，並有狂風大驟雨。海馬將於明日下午最接近香港，預料風向將於明日較後時間逆轉至西南。驟雨將於周六減少。

現時仍然未能排除風暴直趨香港的可能性。如此情況發生，香港有可能吹達颶風程度的旋風。請各位盡早做好防風措施，並定時留意官方預測及風暴最新消息。

2016/10/21 (Fri 五), morning 上午 (or earlier 或更早)

The HK Observatory will consider issuing the #3 Strong Wind Signal tonight. With the current track forecast, the #8 Gale or Storm Signal is very likely during daytime tomorrow. However, whether even higher signals are needed depends on HAIMA's exact landfall location, which cannot be confidently determined at this point.

香港天文台將於今晚考慮發出三號強風信號。按照目前預測路徑，明日日間八號烈風或暴風信號生效的機會非常高。是否需要改發更高信號取決於海馬的確實登陸地點，現時仍然未能完全確定。

HAIMA intensified into category 5 last night, but the storm weakened today and is now a category 4 super typhoon. At 2 pm, HAIMA was centred about 460 km (250 NM) ENE of Manila.

海馬昨晚增強至五級，但風暴今天減弱，現時為四級超級颱風。在下午 2 時，海馬集結在馬尼拉東北偏東約 460 公里 (250 海里)。

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

The subtropical ridge is retreating and this places HAIMA in its southwestern periphery. The storm is now moving WNW and will continue to do so in the next 12 hours, making landfall at northern Luzon tonight. Thereafter, HAIMA will gradually turn northwest and cross northern South China Sea. It is expected to turn poleward closer to landfall in the western periphery of the ridge, and cross the ridge axis shortly after landfall. HAIMA should recurve inland and accelerate towards the northeast after t+72.

副熱帶高壓脊正在東退，海馬處於其西南方，現時向西北偏西移動。預料此移動趨勢將於未來 12 小時維持，風暴會於今晚登陸呂宋北部，其後風暴移向漸轉西北，並橫過南海北部。至近登陸時，海馬將處於副高西沿，預料移向會進一步北偏，並於登陸後不久橫過副高脊線。海馬將於內陸轉向，並於 72 小時後向東北加速移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T6.5/7.0/S0.0/24 HRS W0.5/06 HRS

HAIMA's eye remains very well-defined, but eyewall cloud-top temperatures have risen over the past 12 hours. The storm is expected to weaken slightly before landfall, and more rapidly while it is crossing Luzon. The ocean heat content in South China Sea is quite a bit lower, and HAIMA should continue to weaken in the South China Sea although it will likely make landfall as a typhoon and remains a significant threat to southern China. Rapid weakening ensues after landfall.

海馬的風眼仍然非常清晰，但眼牆雲頂溫度於過去 12 小時有所上升。預料風暴登陸前將稍為減弱，橫過呂宋期間減弱速度加快。由於南海北部海洋熱含量較低，預料海馬將於南海繼續減弱，但仍以颱風強度登陸，對華南構成重大威脅。海馬將於登陸後快速減弱。

As HAIMA approaches, winds will turn northeast on Thursday, and back to the northwest on Friday with gradual strengthening. Numerical models have remained fairly consistent and, with the decrease in forecast time, a close approach is getting more likely. The weather is expected to deteriorate later in the morning on Friday, and the storm is expected to be the closest in the afternoon. Cyclonic winds are possible if HAIMA comes extremely close. Gales are quite likely, although there is still some uncertainty and a landfall east of Hong Kong will mean winds are somewhat weaker due to the sheltering of northerly winds. Please take all precautionary measures as soon as possible.

隨著海馬靠近，香港將於周四轉吹東北風，周五吹西北風，風勢逐漸增強。數值預報模式的預測大致維持，而隨著預測期縮短，海馬於香港近距離掠過的機會逐漸上升。預測周五早上後段天氣會轉壞，風暴將於下午最接近本港。如海馬非常接近香港，本地可能吹旋風。現時預計本港頗大機會吹烈風，但需注意預測尚有不確定性；如風暴於香港以東登陸，受地形屏蔽影響北風可能較弱。請盡早做好防風措施。

2016/10/20 (Thu 四), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

The HK Observatory will issue the #1 Standby Signal tomorrow morning.

香港天文台將於明早發出一號戒備信號。

HAIMA has intensified into a super typhoon. At 2 pm, HAIMA was centred about 1050 km (570 NM) E of Manila.

海馬已增強為超級颱風。在下午 2 時，海馬集結在馬尼拉以東約 1050 公里 (570 海里)。

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

HAIMA is moving W to WNW along the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge anchored in the Pacific south of Japan; such motion will continue in the next 24 hours. The subtropical ridge is retreating and HAIMA will turn WNW to NW after t+36. The storm will round the periphery of the ridge and turn more poleward in the South China Sea. A landfall east of Hong Kong is currently forecast just after t+72. HAIMA should recurve inland afterwards and may emerge into the East China Sea after t+120.

副熱帶高壓脊中心位於日本以南的太平洋上，海馬正沿其南部向西至西北偏西移動，預料此移動趨勢將於未來 24 小時維持。副高正在東退，海馬將於 36 小時後轉西北偏西至西北移動。風暴將繞副高邊沿推進，於南海時移向進一步北偏；現時預料風暴會於約 72 小時後於香港以東登陸。隨後海馬將於內陸轉向，有機會於 120 小時以後進入東海。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T6.5/6.5/D1.0/24 HRS

HAIMA's central dense overcast has deepened and its eye is clearly visible. The storm is expected to intensify in the next 12 to 24 hours in warm seas with low vertical wind shear, and will weaken later as it nears Luzon. HAIMA will weaken further in northern South China Sea due to the lower ocean heat content there, but should still make landfall as a typhoon. Rapid weakening ensues after landfall.

海馬的中心密集雲區變得更為深厚，其風眼清晰可見。在溫暖海域及低垂直風切變的環境下，預料風暴將於未來 12 至 24 小時增強，隨後因靠近呂宋而減弱。由於南海北部海洋熱含量較低，預料海馬將於南海繼續減弱，但仍以颱風強度登陸，其後減弱速度加快。

As HAIMA approaches, winds will turn north on Thursday, and back to the northwest on Friday with gradual strengthening. The current forecast calls for a landfall east of Hong Kong, but there is still some uncertainty in the timing of the storm's poleward turn and thus it is not possible to determine the sequence of wind direction changes at this moment. In any case, heavy squally showers associated with HAIMA's rainbands will affect Hong Kong on Friday and Saturday.

隨著海馬靠近，香港將於周四轉吹北風，周五吹西北風，風勢逐漸增強。雖然現時預測風暴於香港以東登陸，但其轉向時間尚存在不確定性，暫時未能預計風暴登陸前後本地風向變化。但是，無論如何，海馬的雨帶將於周五至周六為本港帶來狂風大驟雨。

2016/10/19 (Wed 三), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)

HAIMA is the 114th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by China, meaning seahorse. This name was used in 2004 and 2011, with the latter occurrence necessitating the #3 Strong Wind Signal in Hong Kong.

海馬為熱帶氣旋名稱列表中第 114 個名字，由中國提供。此名曾於 2004 及 2011 年使用，後者令香港天文台發出三號強風信號。

HAIMA is reaching the southern edge of the subtropical ridge and is moving more equatorward. The storm will continue to move WNW in the next 48 hours with a slight increase in speed as it travels at the periphery of the ridge. After t+48, the ridge is expected to retreat and this will drive HAIMA towards the northwest as it crosses northern Luzon and enters South China Sea. The storm will move increasingly poleward in northern South China Sea, and is expected to approach southeastern China coastal areas near t+96.

海馬到達副熱帶高壓脊南沿，其移向開始西偏。預料風暴將於未來 48 小時沿該脊周邊繼續向西北偏西移動，期間移速稍為增加。48 小時後，預料副高將會東退，海馬橫過呂宋北部及進入南海時將漸轉西北移動。風暴於南海將進一步轉為北移，並於約 96 小時後靠近中國東南沿岸。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T5.5/5.5/D1.5/24 HRS

HAIMA is intensifying steadily in a decent atmospheric environment, with a small eye embedded within a developing central dense overcast. The storm will track across warm seas with excellent divergence aloft and low to moderate vertical wind shear, and will strengthen further in the next 36 to 48 hours, potentially becoming a category 5 super typhoon with a chance of explosive deepening. The storm should weaken after t+48 as it nears land, and later in the South China Sea due to the lower ocean heat content there.

於較佳大氣環境下，海馬穩步增強，於其正在發展的中心密集雲區中有一細小風眼。風暴將橫過溫暖海域，加上沿途高空輻散良好，垂直風切變於低至中等水平，預料會於未來 36 至 48 小時進一步增強；風暴有可能達到五級超級颱風強度，亦有機會出現爆發性增強。隨著風暴靠近陸地，它將於 48 小時後減弱，之後由於海洋熱含量降低而於南海繼續減弱。

As HAIMA approaches, winds will back to the northeast and later north on Thursday.

隨著海馬靠近，風向將於周四逆轉至東北，較後時間將轉吹北風。

2016/10/18 (Tue 二), afternoon 下午 (or earlier 或更早)
