Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) Acting Director Leong Ka Cheng said yesterday it was “likely” that the No. 3 signal will be hoisted tomorrow night or in the early hours of Sunday.
However, Leong was quick to add there was only a “low probability” that the No. 8 signal will be hoisted on Sunday morning for the tropical depression that formed west of Luzon in the Philippines yesterday morning.
Leong made the remarks during a special press conference about the government’s ongoing Hato disaster relief measures.
The super-typhoon killed 10 and injured 244 in Macau last Wednesday.
