Track of Super Typhoon “Mangkhut”

The Super Typhoon “Mangkhut” is now over the western North Pacific. It is well developed with a large gale circle. The maximum wind speed near its center has reached 240km/h. “Mangkhut” is forecasted to enter within 800 km of Macao on 15^th morning and Typhoon Signal No.1 will be issued at the same time. Since “Mangkhut” will approach the coast of Guangdong and pose considerable threat to Macao and the Pearl River Delta, Typhoon Signal No.3 is expected to be issued on 15^th night. As the latest forecast track of “Mangkhut” has adjusted to the north slightly, “Mangkhut” will cause serious impact on Macao when it comes closest to Macao on 16^th. Frequent squalls and heavy showers are expected and there will also be serious flooding, around 1.0 to 2.5m above road level in low-lying areas due to storm surge.

If you have outdoor activities on 15^th and on 16^th, please make appropriate arrangements as soon as possible. Public are advised to take safety precautions against gale, heavy rainfall and storm surge, as well as pay attention to the latest information on "Mangkhut".
