HONG KONG: On Thursday, September 14, Hong Kong’s schools were closed as a result of authorities’ second-highest weather sign and warning of widespread flooding. This occurred just weeks after the Asian financial center experienced its heaviest downpour in 140 years.
Before 6 a.m. local time, the city’s weather station sent out the” red” message, warning that weather exceeding 50mm in an afternoon is falling and is likely to continue.
It stated that” flash floods and flood are happening or are expected to happen in watercourses” as a result of heavy rains.
Unless the highest” dark” signal is given, Hong Kong’s property market may be available.
The city is also repairing damage from heavy rain brought on by typhoon Haikui that passed near in recent days when it started to rain heavily. After the unusually wet weather, several areas of the rocky city still face a high flood risk.
Tsueng Kwan O and Sai Kung, two parts of the city, were also experiencing flood from earlier in the week. Due to the possibility of crash, a luxury home overlooking the ocean in the wealthy Tai Tam neighborhood had to be evacuated on Saturday.
Last year, waist-deep water streams flooded shops, subway stations, and caves in the former British colony, killing two people and injuring more than 144 others.
