The latest forecast from the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) indicates that a strong winter monsoon is expected to lower the local temperature to 10 degrees Celsius or even below this weekend, urging members of the public to pay close attention to the latest weather forecast so that they are ready for the possibly drastic temperature drop.
According to a statement by the bureau yesterday, as the air pressure in central China is gradually rising, the winter monsoon is expected to move southwards later this week, bringing a significant drop in temperature to southern China from Friday onwards, with winds increasing significantly, up to force 6, northerly with gusts.
The observatory further pointed out in the statement that the cold front would bring chilly weather to the coastal areas of Guangdong Province with the temperature of 10 degrees or below expected to appear in most of the areas of the Pearl River estuary.
Meanwhile, the bureau also pointed out that influenced by an easterly jet stream, cloudiness was expected to increase between today and Thursday, along with a few light showers.
According to the statement, Macau has not been affected by wintery conditions since December, with, as of yesterday, only three days of very little rain.
According to the bureau’s forecast for today, the weather will be fine apart from cloudy periods, with the temperature expected to range between 14 degrees and 21 degrees.
