The chance of hoisting a higher typhoon signal is low as Super Typhoon Meranti was moving towards the coast of Fujian late last night, the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) said.
The weather station hoisted the No. 1 standby signal at 10 a.m. yesterday. It was still up at 1:30 a.m.
According to the observatory, as Meranti was sparing Macau, it was possible that residents could get at least a glimpse of the full moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight.
