The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) forecast yesterday that tropical storm Talim which recently formed near Guam will move to Luzon Strait and Taiwan later this week.
The weather station also forecast that Talim will be stronger than Hato, which killed 10 and injured 244 when it descended on Macau last month.
The government has said Hato was the strongest typhoon to have hit Macau in 53 years, coinciding with a storm surge that caused massive floods in the city’s low-lying areas.
This image taken from the Hong Kong Observatory at around midnight shows the projected trajectory of tropical storm Talim heading towards Taiwan.
