As Siam Ba is gradually strengthening and may further develop into a typhoon, and Si Ba may take a more northerly path closer to Macau, the wind may reach the lower limit of Typhoon No. 8 at that time, depending on its development and wind changes. Consider whether a No. 8 typhoon signal needs to be issued in the evening to early morning.
According to the current forecast, there is a moderate to high possibility that Macau will change to Typhoon Signal No. 8 from tonight to the next day.

Macao Meteorological Bureau: There is a medium chance of changing the typhoon signal No. 8
The Macao Geophysics and Meteorological Bureau stated this morning that Severe Tropical Storm Siamba will move to the northwest, generally heading towards the western part of Guangdong to Hainan Island.
As it is expected to be affected by the development of another low-pressure area east of the Philippines, its intensity and path will still be subject to great uncertainty in the future. For example, if Siemba adopts a more northerly path closer to Macau or strengthens near the coast, it is not ruled out that a higher typhoon will be issued at that time. Opportunity.
According to the predicted path of Macau, Siamba will be upgraded to a typhoon tomorrow (2nd).
Due to the astronomical spring tide in the next few days, there will be slight flooding in the inner harbour area from morning to noon in Macau. Under the influence of superimposed storm surges and continuous rainfall, it is predicted that water below 0.5 meters will appear in the inner harbour area from morning to noon tomorrow. dip.
The Macao Geophysics and Meteorological Bureau predicts that there is a medium chance of the local typhoon No. 8 from this afternoon to evening.
