The tropical storm "Nangka" (2016) located at the northern part of the South China Sea is moving in a west-northwest direction toward the Hainan Island. “Nangka” is at a distance of about 400 kilometers from Macao. However, under the combined effect of “Nangka” and the northeast monsoon, the winds in Macao are expected to strengthen gradually, and the wind speed on the bridges, open areas, and high ground is expected to reach the threshold of typhoon signal No.8 occasionally. The outer circulation rain bands will start to affect Macao later on. The weather between 13th and 14th October will be unstable, with occasional heavy showers and thunderstorms. Based on the forecasts and consideration of public safety, the public are advised to take measures against the wind and stay in safe places, and pay close attention to the latest weather news of SMG.
Remarks: The probabilities of issuing severe weather warning signals for the next one or two days are provided in the table. Public can learn the possibility of being affected by the tropical cyclone over the specific period of time in Macao so that necessary precautions can be well prepared earlier. Please keep notice of our latest information.
