Following two days of heavy rainfall, Hong Kong is preparing for a shift in weather patterns. The Hong Kong Observatory issued an amber rainstorm warning at 6:40 a.m. on Monday, marking the second consecutive morning such an alert was triggered. The warning, which indicates that heavy rain has fallen or is expected to fall generally over Hong Kong, exceeding 30mm in an hour, was officially cancelled at 8:45 a.m. This follows a similar alert on Sunday that remained active for over six hours.

According to the Observatory, the heavy showers have resulted in significant rainfall across the territory, with many areas recording more than 30mm of precipitation. While the immediate start of the week has been defined by these wet conditions, the forecast indicates that the weather will stabilize as the week progresses. Residents should prepare for a transition toward sunnier skies, though the Observatory warns that this change will be accompanied by very hot temperatures. The shift marks a departure from the recent period of instability caused by the heavy downpours that impacted the city's morning commutes over the weekend and early Monday.
