Hong Kong’s weather agency issued the amber rainstorm warning signal for about two hours on Tuesday as showers and thunderstorms associated with an active southwest monsoon affected the city.

The amber warning, which was issued at 11:45 am, was canceled at 1:30 pm.

“Though rainstorm warning has been cancelled, people should stay alert to the danger that may be brought about by river flooding,” the Hong Kong Observatory warned at 3:02 pm.

Before issuing the amber alert, the observatory had warned heavy rain might affect different areas of the city.

“Locally, thundery showers around noon brought more than 20 millimeters of rainfall to many places,” the HKO said.

Meanwhile, the landslip warning was still in effect, meaning that members of the public should stay away from steep slopes or retaining walls.

On Tuesday, Hong Kong experienced a torrential downpour with the highest black rainstorm warning signal issued for more than 11 hours and over 100 millimeters of rainfall recorded across the city, causing flooding in various districts.
