According to meteorological services, the center of the tropical storm will pass very close to Macau, causing sustained winds of at least 118 km/h, accompanied by strong gusts. The territory is expected to face severe weather conditions, with increased risks for the population and infrastructure.
Authorities recommend that all outdoor and maritime activities be suspended immediately. The public should remain in safe and sheltered locations, keeping away from doors and windows, especially in areas most exposed to the wind.
Although temporary calm periods may occur, meteorologists warn that this is merely the passage of the eye of the storm. In such situations, areas initially less affected may experience a sudden and violent intensification of wind.
Authorities also urge the public to remain vigilant regarding the risk of coastal flooding, emphasizing the need to monitor warnings about the level of “storm surge.”
As of 6:00 AM, Super Typhoon Ragasa was located approximately 130 km southeast of Macau and is moving west-northwest at a speed of 20 km/h, generally toward the western coast of the Pearl River estuary.
