Typhoon "Koinu" is moving slowly, and approaching Macau. Its associated zone of gale wind will affect Macau. Winds are expected to intensify in Macau.
Affected by the rainbands of "Koinu", the local wind can reach wind force levels of 6 to 8 with gusts. Showers will become more frequent and heavy at times at night and Monday (9th).
Meanwhile, Blue storm surge warning is in effect. There may be flooding below 0.5 meters caused by a storm surge in low-lying areas between midnight and morning on Monday (9th).
As "Koinu" may take a more northerly path, the possibility of issuing a higher Tropical Cyclone Signal and Yellow storm surge warning cannot be ruled out. The public is advised to pay attention to the latest weather information.
