Corrected record of hourly mean wind speeds from 1952 to 2005 is subjected to extreme value analysis. Please note that, as Hong Kong has complex topography and large variations in the extent of urbanization, there are significant variations in wind speed and direction over different parts of the territory. An analysis of wind speed records in Macau was recently carried out by one of the authors in relation to the revision and update of the Macau Wind Code Provisions from the 1996 version.

Arguably Hong Kong’s most intense cyclone. Tsing Ma Bridge is a bridge in Hong Kong. 0 The resulting 50-year return mean wind speed is 52.0 m/s for Waglan and 50.7 m/s for Macau. The user should also read carefully the Terms and Conditions page, the Information page, and the notes that appear on each page of the website. Whilst the Government endeavours to ensure the accuracy of this general information, no statement, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, is given as to its accuracy or appropriateness for use in any particular circumstances. A number of methods are attempted and they include selections of annual maximum or storm wind speeds, use of the V or V2 data, and standard Gumbel or Lieblein BLUE methods. ���eR,'YC]�f�G�zTx��OM }��V�$�� J�λ�V���Wj�[���@�z��#A�+�*���,��s�� ��^V VZ In some cases, there could also be noticeable differences between stations within the same region due to the elevation of anemometer and influence of surrounding environment. All mean wind speeds are corrected to the standard condition of strong wind blowing over the sea surface and at a height of 250 m. This paper also repeats the analysis for Macau wind records incorporating a number of improvements.

Anemometer correction for the wind speed changes is carried out in the wind tunnel with topography models of Macau and Taipa. %%EOF Corrected record of hourly mean wind speeds from 1952 to 2005 is subjected to extreme value analysis. Confidence limit analysis is carried out to recommend safe extreme wind speeds to design for strong wind conditions. The user of EMSD's Wind Resource Maps should be aware that the wind resource data and related energy figures provided by this website are for general information only and are all subject to uncertainties, one reason being that the highly complex terrain of Hong Kong has stretched the limits of the wind flow modelling software employed in developing the wind resource data.
The Hong Kong Observatory maintains a large number of measuring stations. "b:_ruZM| T�����bS&��d��|jt/'2p�F iV� `q����Qe�&. It claimed 130 lives and left 53 missing and at least 72,000 people homeless.
These records have enabled estimates of extreme wind speed at the ground surface to be made. A number of methods are attempted and they include selections of annual maximum or storm wind speeds, use of the V or V2 data, and standard Gumbel or Lieblein BLUE methods. The information contained in these maps are provided by Hong Kong Observatory of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("the Government") for general information and reference only.

The resulting extreme wind speeds for Hong Kong and Macau generally have similar values at different return periods.
For weather updates and typhoon information, go to the Hong Kong Observatory website. The hourly wind speed of 126km/h was the second highest on record at the time, with speeds even averaging about 144km/h for a short period.
