The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) canceled all tropical cyclone warning signals at 12.10pm on Sunday as Typhoon Kajiki gradually moved away from the territory, with the Strong Monsoon Signal now hoisted.
The observatory had issued the Standby Signal No. 1 this past Friday in response to the tropical cyclone's approach.
At noon, Typhoon Kajiki was centered approximately 660 kilometers south-southwest of Hong Kong, near latitude 17.3 degrees north and longitude 110.7 degrees east. The storm is forecast to continue moving west at about 18 kilometers per hour across the waters south of Hainan Island.
Despite the cancellation of warnings, the HKO noted that under the combined effect of a ridge of high pressure over southeastern China and Kajiki, local winds remain strong offshore and on high ground initially.
The weather forecast indicates a few showers and isolated squally thunderstorms are expected throughout the day, along with significant swells.
Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and avoid engaging in any water sports due to potentially dangerous sea conditions.
