Typhoon Signal No. 3 was hoisted yesterday afternoon, with a “relatively low” chance of Signal No. 8 being issued today.
Typhoon Nesat, located over the northern part of the South China Sea, continues to move westward, but it will gradually turn southwest, crossing the northern part of the South China Sea, and will maintain a distance of about 400km south of Macau, according to the
Meteorological and Geophysics Bureau (SMG).
According to the weather bureau, the northeast monsoon will further intensify and move southward tonight, and Nesat will be close to Macau until this morning.
“As it is not during high tide, and the chance of Nesat directly affecting Macau is low, significant flooding due to storm surges is unlikely in the inner harbor area,” the bureau said.
The SMG also expects the temperature to gradually decrease, with the expected minimum temperature to fall to 17 degrees Celsius tomorrow. LV
