Hong Kong back in full swing after Typhoon Wipha as businesses assess damage

Hong Kong was back in full swing on Monday despite some heavy rain, with the airport clearing about 1,000 storm-delayed flights and businesses assessing the economic damage after Typhoon Wipha triggered the first No 10 signal in two years over the weekend.

The Hong Kong Observatory warned that showers and squally thunderstorms would continue to affect the city over the next few days under the influence of the outer rainbands of Wipha, which had weakened into a tropical depression.
