The tropical cyclone, located at the northern South China Sea, has entered within the distance 800 km from Macao, and is expected to move northwest, generally towards the area between the west coast of Guangdong and Hainan Island.
It is expected that the tropical cyclone will strengthen gradually in the coming few days. SMG will consider the possibility of issuing higher tropical cyclone signals owning to its development. Under the influence of its associated outer subsidence airflow, the weather in Macao will be extremely hot today, and high temperature may trigger thunderstorms with strong gust in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, under the joint effect of storm surge and astronomical tide, flooding might occur in the Inner Harbour area with flooding levels between 0.3 to 0.7m on 17th and 18th July. The public is advised to pay attention to the latest weather information.
