Macau can face more intense typhoons due to El Niño

Observador11 September 2026 at 19:10

Macau may face more intense typhoons due to the El Niño meteorological phenomenon. This forecast indicates a change in climate patterns that affects the region.

The number of expected storms is below normal, but the intensity of each storm tends to be significantly higher. This combination represents an increased risk for the region.

The southern China region, which includes Macau, may face storms with enough force to evolve to the "superstrong" level. This classification represents the highest level of intensity for this type of meteorological phenomenon.
