The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a red rainstorm warning signal. The red rainstorm warning signal indicates that heavy rain with an hourly rainfall exceeding 50 millimeters has been recorded or is expected in a vast area of Hong Kong, and the rain may continue. The Observatory reminds that continuous heavy rain has caused or may cause severe flooding on roads and traffic congestion. Heavy rain may also affect school hours. Parents, students, schools, and school bus drivers should pay attention to announcements on radio and television regarding school closures. Those who need to go out should carefully consider the weather and road conditions and take safety measures. Due to the heavy rain, flash floods may occur and rivers are already overflowing or may overflow, so residents should stay away from rivers. Residents near rivers should closely monitor the weather conditions, and if there is a risk of flooding in their homes, they should consider evacuating.
