Practical tips
Typhoon season guide — arrival, transfer & free reschedule
Typhoon season 2026 is underway. How Empire Sauna handles storm signals: confirm before you leave, private transfer in the rain, and free reschedule with one message.
August is peak typhoon season in Macau. The weather bureau expects 5–8 tropical cyclones to affect Macau in 2026. Early August already saw a storm along the Guangdong coast with signals hoisted. The top question: "Are you open tonight? Is transfer still on?" Here's the clear answer.
Storm signals in two minutes
- Signal 1 — Storm nearby at sea; city runs as normal.
- Signal 3 — Stronger winds; city mostly normal but taxis are scarce. Free private transfer via this site is the safest option.
- Signal 8 or above — Public transport stops. Stay safe; message us to reschedule.
Rainstorm warnings
Summer also brings rainstorm warnings. Walking is not recommended in heavy rain — but our cars still run, hotel lobby to venue door. Rainy nights are often the cosiest inside.
Shelter on site — open late into the night
Empire Sauna is open 17:00 – 06:00 (August 2026). Stormy nights are popular with regulars: marble dual baths, free dining, VIP recliner lounge for a nap.
Free reschedule, no fees
If weather changes your plans, reschedule with one message — no charge. Your room and chosen extras stay reserved.
