Hong Kong’s second-longest black rainstorm signal on record – as it happened
Observatory cancels all rainstorm warnings after city brought to standstill, with over 100 flights delayed and public services paralysed
The Hong Kong Observatory saw its second-longest black rainstorm warning on record on Tuesday, as heavy downpours brought the city to a standstill.
While the warning was later downgraded to amber at 5.05pm and later cancelled, the city is still counting the cost of the extreme weather, with many public services left paralysed during the day and authorities forced to suspend classes.
So far, 101 flights have been delayed, two have been cancelled and another two have been diverted to other airports.
