Typhoon “Saola” is gradually moving away from Macao and is weakening. The wind in Macao also weakens but will remain between Beaufort scale level 7-8 with gusts. In addition, due to the rainbands of “Saola”, there will be heavy showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow (2nd and 3rd Sept.), and the rain will be quite heavy at times.
Under the influence of storm surge due to “Saola”, flooding once occurred in the inner-harbor area. However, since “Saola” moved faster than forecasted, the flood level was lower than expected. Nevertheless, it is possible that flood level between 1 and 1.5 meters will occur in the morning.
“Saola” will continue to bring significant impact on Macao. The public are advised to stay safe and pay attention to 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.
