11. Weather forecasts, storm warnings and time signals are distributed by radio telegraphy as detailed in the "Notice to Mariners" issued by this Department. Storm warnings to Hong Kong and vicinity are also given by means of the Local and Non-Local Signal Codes. A telegraphic adaptation of the Non-Local Code is used for issuing warnings by cable to places outside the Colony.
