Hong Kong Observatory cancels amber rainstorm warning but wet weather set to make comeback
City could be hit by nine straight days of showers, forecasters say
Hongkongers will have to prepare for plenty more rain later this week as the Observatory expects the city to be hit by showers for at least nine days in a row.
A few squally thundery showers will hit the coast of Guangdong on Monday but the rain is expected to ease off later in the day and be followed by sunny periods, according to the forecasters.
The cloudy and wetter conditions, however, will return to the northern part of the South China Sea in the middle and latter parts of the week under the influence of a broad trough of low pressure.
“The area of low pressure to the east of the Philippines may develop gradually, but its movement in the next few days is uncertain,” the Hong Kong Observatory said.
The forecast for more rainy weather comes after the Observatory issued the amber rainstorm warning for the city soon after noon on Sunday and lowered it about 90 minutes later.
