The tropical depression which is located at Luzon Strait has intensified into Tropical Storm "Guchol" (1717). "Guchol" will move to Fujian coastal area, more than 400km east away from Macao. Because of its relatively weak intensity (maximum wind speed is about 75km/h near the center) and relatively easterly track, it is expected that there is little threat to Macao. The development of "Guchol" will be being monitored closely by Our Bureau . More information will be released once it is expected to affect Macao.
