The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) insisted that it was necessary to hoist the No. 8 signal for Severe Tropical Storm Nangka despite the fact that the typhoon was located over 400 kilometres away from Macao at the closest.
The Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) issued this afternoon a clarification on an online rumour about the purported lowering of Typhoon Signal No. 8 tonight.
Typhoon Signal No. 8NE will remain in effect during the day, according to the Meteorological and Geophysical Services (SMG).
Typhoon signal No. 8NE was issued at 7:30 am and will remain in effect this morning, according to the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Services (SMG).
Signal No. 3 was hoisted at 8 pm on Monday as tropical storm “Nangka” was about 440 kilometres south of Macao as it was heading towards Hainan, and with a northeast monsoon lurking in the South China Sea, the possibility of issuing the Typhoon Signal No. 8 at dawn was “medium to relatively high”, the local weather station forecast late last night.
Typhoon Signal No. 3 was hoisted today at 8 pm by the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Services (SMG).
The Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) lowered all its typhoon signals at 3:30 pm today.
The Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) will lower the signal level to Signal No. 3 at 11:30 am this morning as local winds will weaken. This will replace the Signal No. 8NE hoisted at 7:30 am earlier in the day.
