Hong Kong commuters on Monday morning had a mostly smooth journey as they returned to work or school after a record-breaking rainstorm last week, but the city’s weather forecaster warned a heavy downpour in the New Territories could result in serious flooding again.
The Hong Kong Observatory on Monday said it had recorded more than 100mm (3.9 inches) of rain in Sai Kung between 8.50am and 9.50am and warned that it would be particularly heavy in the area and in Tap Mun in Tai Po, which could trigger serious flooding.
