Tropical storm Podul located at the central part of the South China Sea. It keeps moving west-northwest towards southern Hainan island. Unless Podul moves further north and intensifies, the probability of issuing tropical cyclone signal NO.3 will remain relatively low. Under its influence, showers and occasionally thunders are expected in the next two days in Macao.
As the winds over the bridges are expected to be strong and gusty, drivers are advised to pay attention to traffic safety. Motorcyclists should travel between Macao Peninsula and Taipa Island through motorcycle lane on Sai Van Bridge.
Besides, under the combined effect of Podul’s circulation and the astronomical tide, floodings will occur over the Inner Harbor area every morning on 29th to 31st. The highest flooding level is expected to be about 0.2m. Members of the public are advised to pay attention.
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. Please keep notice of our latest information.
