A storm has caused the suspension of training for British athletes and disrupted preparation for the Olympic equestrian events in Hong Kong.
Tropical storm Kammuri brought heavy rain and strong winds to Macau, where Team GB's holding camp is based.
British heptathlete Kelly Sotherton said the squad was told to stay inside.
Meanwhile, the arrival of two planes carrying 24 show jumping horses from China, America and the United Arab Emirates was delayed.
All are expected to arrive in Hong Kong, ready for the competition which starts on Saturday, as soon as the weather clears.
"It will weaken gradually by Saturday," Leung Wing-mo, a senior scientific officer with the Hong Kong observatory said. "If anything, a trough of low pressure will just bring showers."
Sotherton, a bronze medallist in Athens four years ago, said the conditions were frustrating for the athletes.
"We can't leave the hotel because when there's a typhoon at this Level 8 all the transport is cancelled, so unfortunately we are all holed up in a hotel," she said.
