Typhoon Noul is expected to come closest to Hong Kong between Saturday night and Sunday morning, the Hong Kong Observatory said, noting it is considering issuing the No 1 warning signal later on Friday.

According to SCMP Economy, the storm, officially named and described as provided by North Korea, was about 500 km northeast of Manila as of Friday morning and was moving northwest at 26 km/h.

The Observatory said Noul is expected to move across the Luzon Strait and enter within 800 km of Hong Kong later on Friday, before reaching the northeastern part of the South China Sea near the coast of eastern Guangdong over the weekend.
