High chance of typhoon No. 3 issued in Macau from noon to evening
The Macao Meteorological Bureau pointed out at 1:00 a.m. that Niger gathered about 790 kilometers south-southeast of Macao, and is expected to slowly move northward toward the coast of southern China.
Affected by the replenishment of the northeast monsoon, it is still sunny and dry during the day today. Although the wind may occasionally reach magnitude 6 in the morning, it is expected that the northeast monsoon will further intensify and push south in the evening. With the gradual approach of Niger, the wind will further intensify. Therefore, there is a high chance that the No. 3 typhoon will be issued this afternoon to evening.
The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting stronger winds and occasional showers from Tuesday to Thursday under the combined influence of Niger and the continued northeast monsoon.
In addition, due to the astronomical tide in the next few days, there may be flooding in the Inner Harbor area from midnight to early morning. The public is reminded to pay attention to the latest weather information.
