The Macau Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) announced on its website yesterday morning that a low-pressure area was set to form within two days.
According to the announcement, the low-pressure area is expected to form in the central South China Sea within two days. The observatory forecast the area would move towards the western coast of Guangdong Province from the weekend to early next week, bringing significant changes to local weather conditions.
The bureau said that due to its relatively fast movement towards the coastal area and slow intensification, it remained uncertain whether the low-pressure area would develop into a tropical cyclone, therefore requiring further monitoring of its movement.
According to the announcement, there is significant divergence among different forecast models regarding the development of this low-pressure area. The observatory said that most models show that from the weekend onwards, showers will increase and winds will strengthen along the coast of Guangdong.
Under the influence of the associated cloud and rain band, the weather station forecast persistent showers and thunderstorms affecting the Pearl River Delta early next week. The bureau urged the public to follow the bureau’s latest weather forecasts and to adjust their outdoor activities and travel plans accordingly.
