Hong Kong Observatory issues Amber Rainstorm Warning as heavy rain hits Sai Kung and Lantau

The Hong Kong Observatory issued an Amber Rainstorm Warning Signal as intense thundery showers associated with an upper-air disturbance affected the region. Localized heavy rain warnings were issued for Sai Kung and Lantau Island, where hourly rainfall was expected to exceed 70 millimeters, raising the possibility of localized flooding. It remains unconfirmed whether weather conditions will require escalating the alert to a Red Rainstorm Warning.
