In the past few hours, Wipha has taken a northerly direction and is closer to Macau than expected. It is expected that tropical storm will be closest to Macau between afternoon and evening on July 31st at about 250km southwest of Macau. The local wind level will reach Beaufort scale 8. At the same time, the rain bands associated with the tropical storm will gradually affect Macau, and there will be heavy showers in Macao today.
Since the intensifying and the movement of the tropical storm have been slower than predicted, the time period of strong winds and the astronomical tide will be out of sync, and the level of flooding may be lower than expected. However, under the influence of the external circulation of the tropical cyclone and astronomical tide, floods may occur in low lying areas in the Inner Harbor in the morning from 1 to 4 August. The public are advised to take necessary precautionary measures against high winds and storm surges, and to keep up with the latest weather information.
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.
