Hong Kong Observatory

Hong Kong’s weather forecaster has issued an amber rainstorm signal, warning of severe downpours and serious flooding in Yuen Long. Hourly rainfall in the northwestern New Territories district is expected to exceed 100mm.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued a red rainstorm warning at 9:45pm, following an amber warning at 7:05pm, due to heavy rain and potential flooding in parts of Wan Chai.

Hong Kong has cancelled the No 1 typhoon signal but remains under warning for strong winds, swells, and heavy showers until mid-next week. The Hong Kong Observatory replaced the typhoon signal with a strong monsoon signal due to Tropical Cyclone Maysak.

Hong Kong will maintain the No 1 typhoon signal until at least Friday evening as Tropical Storm Maysak approaches, with a potential upgrade to the No 3 warning depending on the storm's intensity. The Hong Kong Observatory reports Maysak is approximately 670km southwest of Hong Kong and moving in its direction.

Hong Kong issued the No 1 typhoon signal at 7:40am on Thursday as an approaching tropical cyclone moved south of the city. The cyclone's center was approximately 800 kilometers from Hong Kong, and authorities may assess raising the No 3 strong wind signal by Friday.

Hong Kong’s weather forecaster will issue the No 1 typhoon signal on Thursday as a tropical depression approaches, potentially marking the city’s first storm of the year. The storm is expected to enter within 800km of Hong Kong later on Wednesday before moving toward Hainan Island and Beibu Wan.

Hong Kong’s weather forecaster warns of record high temperatures this year and next due to a developing 'super' El Nino, which could become the strongest on record. The Observatory notes rising sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, signaling an El Nino event this summer.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued an amber rainstorm warning, advising residents to prepare for heavy rain caused by a low-pressure trough along the southern Chinese coast. The warning was activated at 11:10am on Sunday, indicating widespread heavy rain is imminent.

Hong Kong's Observatory issued a red rainstorm warning, leading to the suspension of afternoon classes by education authorities. The warning was raised at 12:15pm on Friday, following an amber signal issued 25 minutes earlier.

A Chinese AI model deployed at the Hong Kong Observatory and mainland China’s National Meteorological Centre improves typhoon intensification forecasts. Led by Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology professor Li Qinglan, the system provides real-time updates on Typhoon Jangmi.

Hong Kong experienced heavy downpours with a risk of flooding, but the Hong Kong Observatory expects improved conditions during the Tuen Ng Festival. An amber rainstorm warning was cancelled after over 30mm of rain in an hour, with Sai Kung East anticipating hourly rainfall exceeding 70mm. Sunny intervals are forecast for Friday afternoon despite strong winds.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued an amber rainstorm warning at 6.15pm on Tuesday, indicating over 30mm of rain had fallen or was expected within an hour. Heavy showers and squally thunderstorms are likely to continue, with unsettled weather forecasted for the next few days.

The Hong Kong Observatory is considering issuing a red rainstorm warning after previously sending an amber signal. Intense thundery showers are affecting Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, with the decision to escalate the alert depending on further developments.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued an amber rainstorm warning on Sunday night, indicating over 30mm of rain had fallen or was expected within an hour. Unsettled weather, driven by an active southwest monsoon and a trough of low pressure, is expected to persist.

Hong Kong experienced heavy rain and thunderstorms caused by a low-pressure trough, prompting an amber rainstorm warning from the Hong Kong Observatory. Over 30mm of rain fell in many areas, with Tsuen Wan recording 70mm, nearing the threshold for a top-tier black warning.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued a red rainstorm warning on Monday evening, upgrading from an amber warning, and forecast heavy rain for the next 24 hours with potential rainfall reaching 100mm.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued an amber rainstorm warning at 3pm on Sunday, citing heavy rain exceeding 30mm per hour and urging residents to avoid flood-prone areas. The warning followed thundery showers and intense gusts affecting the city during a rainy weekend.

Hong Kong issued an amber rainstorm warning as thundery showers and strong gusts hit the city following its hottest day of the year. The warning, the lowest in a three-tier system, was activated at 10am due to a low-pressure trough causing showers and thunderstorms in Guangdong's coastal areas.

Hong Kong recorded its hottest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 34.6 degrees Celsius (94.3 Fahrenheit) on Friday. The Hong Kong Observatory noted this was the highest temperature for the Chinese summer solar term 'Grain in Ear' since records began, with specific locations like Yuen Long Park, Tuen Mun, and Wetland Park reporting temperatures above 34 degrees.

Hong Kong is monitoring a tropical depression near the city, which is expected to move northeast towards Taiwan. The Hong Kong Observatory states the system is unlikely to trigger a typhoon warning signal.

Domestic workers in Hong Kong are urging employers to relax air conditioning bans during a heatwave. A recent incident saw an employer criticized online for scolding a helper for using the AC an hour earlier than allowed. The Hong Kong Observatory warned of high temperatures.

Hong Kong has recorded six consecutive 'hot nights' in May, tying the previous record set in 2021. An additional hot night would break this record, as the city experiences an ongoing heatwave with minimum temperatures at or above 28°C.

The Hong Kong Observatory warns that El Niño could intensify 4-7 predicted tropical cyclones into super typhoons this year. It also forecasts a potential temperature record of 35°C in Hong Kong, surpassing the previous 33.4°C mark.

Hong Kong recorded its hottest day of the year at 33.7°C on Wednesday, with the Hong Kong Observatory warning of potential 37°C temperatures on Friday. The high temperature was measured at the Observatory’s Tsim Sha Tsui headquarters.

Hong Kong is expected to experience four consecutive days of 33°C temperatures this week, potentially triggering the first very hot weather warning of the year. The Hong Kong Observatory attributes the heatwave to an anticyclone aloft, which will bring hot and fine weather to the region.
