HONGKONG' METEOROLOGICAL
SIGNALS
A NEW CODE.
We have received from the Hongkong Observatory a new code of meteorological signals which comes into force at Hongkong on New Year's Day. They are the same as those at present in use at Shanghai, and wili be hoisted on the mast beside the time-ball at Kowloon Point for the information of masters of vesso leaving the port. They do not neces sarily imply that bad weather is expected. The siguals are as follows:--
A cone point upwards indicates a typhoon to the North of the Colony.
A cone point upwards and drum below in- dicates a typhoon to the North-East - of the. Colony.
A drum indicates a typhoon to the East of
the Colony.
A cone point downwards and drum below indicates a typhoon to the South-East of the Colony.
A cone point downwards indicates a typhoon. to the South of the Colony,
A cone point downwards and ball below indicates a typhoon to the South-West of the Colony.
A ball indicates a typhoon to the West of the Coldby.
A cone point upwards and ball below indicates a typhoon to the North-West of the Colony.
Red Signals indicate that the centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the Colony,
Black Bignal indicate that the centre is believed to be less than 300 miles away from the Colony.
The above signals will, as heretofore, be hoisted only when typhoons exist in such posi tions or are moving in such directions that in-. formation regarding them is considered to be of importance to the Colony or to shipping leav- ing the harbour.
NIGHT SIGNALS.
Two lanterns hoisted vertically indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is
expected to vest,
Two lanterns hoisted horizontally indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to back,
The signals are repeated on the flagstaff of the Godowa Company at Kowloon, and also, by day only, at the Harbour Office and on H M's Receiving Ship,
LOCAL STORM-WARNINGS."
The Colony itself is warned of approaching typhoons by means of the Typhoon Gun placed at the food of the mast, which is fired whenever a strong gals of wind is expected to blow hers.
