Tropical storm Yagi has entered the South China Sea. It is expected to move in the west to northwest direction across the northern part of the South China Sea in the next one to two days, roughly heading towards the vicinity areas between the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island. Under the influence of the outer subsiding airflow of Yagi, Macao will experience scorching weather today and tomorrow, and high temperatures may trigger thunderstorms with strong gusts in the afternoon. According to the latest forecast, Yagi will further intensify and gradually approach the coast of South China from late Wednesday (4th) to Thursday (5th). Winds in Macao will strengthen and thunderstorms will become more frequent. The possibility of issuing a Tropical Cyclone Signal No. 3 will be relatively high then. As the forecast track of "Yagi" is uncertain, the possibility of issuing higher typhoon signals and storm surge warnings will be assessed depending on the development of Yagi's path and intensity. The public is advised to pay attention to the latest weather information and take appropriate preventive measures on time.
Remarks: The probabilities of issuing severe weather warning signals for the next one or two days are provided in the table. Public can learn the possibility of being affected by the tropical cyclone over the specific period of time in Macao so that necessary precautions can be well prepared earlier.
