Super Typhoon Yagi located in the northern part of the South China Sea is expected to move west-northwestward, generally heading towards the areas between Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island.
According to the latest forecast track, Yagi will keep a distance of about 300 km from Macau in the morning today (6th). Due to the influence of its circulation and rain bands, the strength of the wind in Macao maintains, with frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the Blue Storm Surge Warning is in force. It is expected that low-lying areas in Macao's inner harbor area will experience flooding of 0.5 meters or lower between 8:00 and 14:00 today. Since Yagi has been taking a more southerly path, the possibility of issuing the Yellow Storm Surge Warning is decreased to “relatively low”. The public should pay attention to the latest weather information and take measures against winds and flooding.
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.
