【慎防風暴潮威脅】
天文台於下午記者會表示，吐露港海水高度會在今晚（星期五）午夜上升至海圖基準面以上約5米，維多利亞港海水高度則會在星期六中午前上升至海圖基準面以上約3至3.5米，同期大澳海水高度會上升至海圖基準面以上約3.5至3.8米。
假如蘇拉如現時預測般在香港以南近距離掠過，加上其引起的風暴潮與天文大潮漲潮疊加，沿岸低窪地區出現嚴重水浸的風險會進一步增加。然而，各大電腦模式對蘇拉最接近本港的時間仍有細微分歧，因此實際水位高度存在變數。此外，假如蘇拉先在廣東東部沿岸登陸，並在香港以北掠過，風暴潮的威脅會明顯降低。
MET WARN特別呼籲，市民應遠離危險地方，包括沿岸低窪地區、行人隧道及空曠位置，車輛應該駛離戶外停車場或地庫，一切防水浸措施應盡快完成。

蘇拉環流較為緊密，八號信號發出數小時，本港普遍風力暫未顯著增強。
MET WARN再次提醒市民，是次八號信號提前預警性質較重。隨著蘇拉進一步靠近，本港風力會在下午至黃昏開始迅速增強。市民不應因現時風力不強而掉以輕心，亦應盡快完成一切防禦措施。
Saola is a compact storm. Winds in Hong Kong have yet picked up significantly after the issuance of tropical cyclone signal No.8.
It is important to remember signal No.8 was issued well in advance this time as a precautionary measure. As Saola edges closer, winds are expected to increase rapidly between afternoon and dusk today.
Please do not let your guard down just because winds have yet strengthened. All precautionary measures should now be rushed to completion.

天文台會視乎本地風力變化，評估是否需要在黃昏前後發出更高熱帶氣旋警告信號。
受風暴潮影響，沿岸低窪地區的水位今晚將急速上升，可能出現嚴重水浸。預計今晚影響香港東部沿海地區，尤其是西貢、城門河、大埔、沙頭角等，最高水位有機會與2018年山竹襲港時相若。

預料蘇拉眼壁將於晚間開始影響本港，東部地區會首當其衝，市民應提防眼壁來襲伴隨的風力急增以及具破壞性的猛烈風勢。
最新合成孔徑雷達分析顯示，蘇拉西側颶風圈半徑約為80公里。此外，位於汕尾以南數十公里的浮標已錄得颶風，風力一度達每小時155公里。
按照現時預測路徑，蘇拉會在入夜後開始進入天文台總部以東100公里範圍內。市民應盡快完成一切防禦措施。
Saola’s eyewall is expected to start affecting Hong Kong tonight. The eastern part of the city will first bear the brunt. Members of the public should remember winds will increase rapidly to an intense and destructive level as the eyewall approaches.
Latest analysis from the Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar shows hurricane-force winds expand westward up to 80 kilometres. A buoy located to the south of Shanwei has also recorded hurricane-force winds, peaking at 155 kilometres per hour thus far.
According to the present forecast track, Saola will enter within 100 kilometres of the Hong Kong Observatory headquarter shortly after dusk. All precautionary measures should now be rushed to completion.

天文台表示，雷達圖像顯示，與蘇拉相關的烈風區已到達香港以東約70公里。
受風暴潮影響，今早維多利亞港的水位已上漲至海圖基準面以上約3米。沿岸低窪地區的水位今晚將急速上升，可能出現嚴重水浸。

與蘇拉雨帶相關的大風區正靠近本港東部，預計該區風力短期內開始增強。
預料蘇拉核心環流會在今晚至明早影響本港，黃昏起風力會進一步並快速增強。
Winds associated with Saola’s rainbands are edging closer to the eastern part of Hong Kong. Winds over that part of the city are expected to start increasing soon.
Saola’s core is expected to affect Hong Kong tonight and tomorrow morning. Winds are expected to further strengthen around dusk.

天文台表示，受風暴潮影響，沿岸低窪地區的水位今晚起將急速上升，可能出現嚴重水浸，最高水位有機會與2018年山竹襲港時相若。
晚上約九時開始，本港東部沿海地區水位會上升，當中吐露港的最高水位預計於午夜時分升至海圖基準面以上約5米或更高，比正常潮位增加約3米或以上。威脅最大的地區包括城門河、大埔、沙頭角、西貢等。
本港各沿岸地區的水位亦會於明日早上約六時開始顯著上升，維多利亞港的最高水位將升至海圖基準面以上約3米多。沿岸低窪地區如鯉魚門，比正常潮位增加約1.5米。大澳水位則會升至海圖基準面以上約3.5米，比正常潮位增加接近2米。

超強颱風蘇拉來勢洶洶，MET WARN準備了以下防禦措施列表：
1️⃣ 關緊並鎖實所有門窗。在玻璃窗貼上膠紙可減少玻璃爆破帶來傷害。
2️⃣ 遠離窗戶。提早選擇家中一個安全位置，以便玻璃爆破時可繼續逗留。玻璃爆破時切忌即時善後。
3️⃣ 颱風吹襲期間冷氣有機會被吹壞甚至被吹進室內，應多加留意。
4️⃣ 準備數個「尿袋」（行動電源）及電筒，以防電力短暫或較長時間中斷。
市民最遲應在黃昏前完成所有防禦措施。
With Super Typhoon Saola edging closer to Hong Kong, MET WARN has prepared the following checklist on precautionary measures:
1️⃣ Close and lock all windows and doors. Fixing adhesive tapes to window panes can reduce injuries from broken glass.
2️⃣ Stay away from windows. Choose a safe spot at home so that you can continue to be sheltered when windows are broken. Do not immediately fix broken windows.
3️⃣ Air conditioners may be broken or even be blown indoors during the passage of the typhoon. Please stay alert.
4️⃣ Prepare several portable chargers and torches in case there is an power outage.
Members of the public are advised to finish all preparations by dusk.
