Hong Kong, 2024-06-15 - The Hong Kong Observatory issued a second Amber Rainstorm Warning Signal at 12:55 PM today, indicating that heavy rain has already fallen or is anticipated to occur across the city, with precipitation exceeding 30 millimetres per hour and likely to persist.
According to the announcement, the authorities expect flooding in low-lying and poorly drained areas. Residents in vulnerable locations are advised to take necessary precautions to minimize their exposure to the risks associated with heavy rainfall and potential flooding.
The Observatory also warned of the possibility of flash floods due to the heavy downpour, urging people to steer clear of watercourses. Those susceptible to flooding should take measures to safeguard their belongings and mitigate potential losses.
The Thunderstorm Warning issued earlier at 5:45 AM has been extended until 3:30 PM today, as the coastal region of Guangdong experiences heavy showers and thunderstorms due to an active southwest monsoon.
The weather forecast for the afternoon and evening predicts mostly cloudy conditions with showers and a few squally thunderstorms. The showers are expected to be intense initially, with moderate to fresh southwesterly winds, occasionally reaching strong levels on higher ground.
Looking ahead, the showers are expected to persist tomorrow, gradually tapering off in the subsequent days. Daytime temperatures are expected to soar, resulting in hot weather conditions.
Earlier today, at 6 AM, the Hong Kong Observatory had issued an Amber Rainstorm Warning Signal, which was subsequently lifted at 8:10 AM after heavy rainfall exceeding 30 millimetres per hour was recorded or expected in various parts of the city.
