Severe tropical storm "Nangka" (2016) is gradually approaching Hainan Island. It is moving in a west-northwest direction and is expected to make landfall on Hainan Island in the early evening, and is starting to move away from Macao gradually. Although “Nangka” is at a distance of over 400 kilometers from Macao, under the accompanied effect of “Nangka” and the northeast monsoon, the wind in Macao will maintain in the afternoon, and the wind speed on the bridges, open areas, and high ground is expected to reach the threshold of typhoon warning signal No.8 occasionally. The outer circulation rain bands is continuously affecting Macao, and the weather is unstable with occasional heavy showers and thunderstorms. Since “Nangka” still poses a certain threat to Macao, based on the forecasts and consideration of public safety, SMG urges the public to take measures against strong winds and heavy showers. The public are advised to stay in safe places, and pay close attention to the latest weather news of SMG.
