The tropical storm "Nangka" (2016) located at the northern part of the South China Sea, is moving west-northwest towards the Hainan Island. “Nangka” will maintain a distance of about 400 kilometers away from Macao. However, under the combined effect of “Nangka” and the northeast monsoon, the winds in Macao are expected to strengthen gradually, and will occasionally reach the wind speed threshold of typhoon signal No.8. The weather between 13th and 14th October will be unstable, with frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, there is flooding in the Inner Harbor area this morning due to the storm surge and rains, and the inundation can reach 0.4 meter above ground. The public is advised to take preventive measures against the wind, flooding and rainstorm ahead of time, and pays close attention to the latest weather news of SMG.
