Does Du have an influence on Macao?

Typhoon Du, No.5 in 2023, was strengthened to a strong typhoon level at 8: 00 am on July 24, 2023. Typhoon Du made landfall near Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province in the early morning of July 27th, 2023, and will continue to move northwest after landfall. Although Macao is not in the direct path of typhoon, it will be affected by its peripheral cloud system, and there will be extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains in Macao.

Due to the influence of downdraft, the weather in Macau was very hot on July 27th, 2023. The highest temperature in some areas rose to 38 degrees. The high temperature at noon caused sporadic showers, and there were several thunderstorms and strong gusts at night.

Therefore, it is suggested that local residents in Macao pay close attention to the latest forecasts and early warnings issued by local meteorological departments and take preventive measures to ensure their own safety.

Disaster caused by typhoon

Typhoon disasters mainly occurred before and after the typhoon landed. The wind speed of typhoons is mostly above 17m/s, even above 60m/s ... According to the measurement, when the wind reaches 12, the wind pressure per square meter on the plane perpendicular to the wind direction can reach 230kg. Therefore, when a super typhoon comes, strong winds and huge waves caused by it can throw up or even smash coastal ships, and can also push huge ships inland; It is also enough to destroy or even destroy buildings, bridges and vehicles on land.

Especially in areas where buildings are not reinforced, the damage is even greater. Strong winds can also blow debris into the air, making it fly at high speed, endangering the lives and property of pedestrians and making the outdoor environment very dangerous.
