Typhoon Nesat located over the northern part of South China Sea, is continuously moving westward, but it will gradually turn southwest, crossing the northern part of South China Sea, and will maintain a distance of about 400km south from Macao.

Under the joint influence of Nesat and the northeast monsoon, the local winds has reached wind force 6 with gust, as the northeast monsoon will further intensify and move southward tonight, and Nesat will be close to Macao between today and morning tomorrow(18th), the local winds will further intensify. Therefore, the bureau will consider to issue signal no.3 between 15:00-18:00.

In the following two days (18-19th), the cloud amount will increase, with few patches of showers. Moreover, the temperature will gradually decrease, the expected minimum temperature will be 17 degree Celsius on Wednesday (19th).

However, under strong wind and swells, slight flooding is possible in the southern inner harbor area. The public is advised to pay attention to the latest weather news.
