Super Typhoon Yagi located in the northern part of the South China Sea is expected to move west-northwestward, generally heading towards the areas between the western coast of Guangdong and Hainan Island.
It is expected that winds in Macau will gradually strengthen during daytime, with thunderstorms becoming more frequent. According to the latest forecast track, Yagi will pass within 300 kilometers south of Macao in the early hours on Friday (6th). Due to the influence of its wide circulation, the wind in Macao will rapidly strengthen at that time, with frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms. DSMG will issue Tropical Cyclone Signal No.8 between 20:00 and 23:00 tonight.
Meanwhile, Blue Storm Surge Warning was issued at 11:00. It is expected that low-lying areas in Macao's inner harbor area will experience flooding of around 0.5 meters between 7:00 and 15:00 on Friday. If Yagi takes a more northerly path, flooding may become more significant. Therefore, the possibility of issuing the Yellow Storm Surge Warning is raised to “medium”. The public should pay attention to the latest weather information and take early precautions against winds and flooding.
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.
