All tropical cyclone signals were cancelled at 3.40pm on Sunday, as the observatory said Tropical Depression Wutip continued to move further away from Hong Kong. The forecaster later issued the Strong Monsoon Signal, saying local winds would still occasionally be strong for the rest of the day, reaching gale force on high ground. The observatory urged the public to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports. It also warned that there could be occasional heavy showers on Monday and Tuesday.

The Observatory says the Strong Wind Signal No 3 will remain in force until early Sunday afternoon, and that it will consider lowering the signal depending on local wind conditions. This morning, Wutip weakened into a tropical depression as it moved inland in Guangdong. The forecasters said locally, winds are expected to moderate later this afternoon with the outer rain bands of Wutip bringing squally showers to the coast of Guangdong. "Depending on the change in local wind condition and the extent of weakening of Wutip, the Observatory will consider issuing the Standby Signal No 1, or replacing the tropical cyclone warning signal with the Strong Monsoon Signal," the Observatory said. It forecast that for Monday and Tuesday, there would still be heavy showers over the coast of Guangdong because of an active south-westerly airstream.
