Hong Kong's weather is expected to remain unsettled over the next two days due to an active southerly airstream and upper-air disturbances. Intense thundery showers over the seas south of the Pearl River Estuary are gradually approaching the region and are anticipated to bring heavy showers and strong gusts to the territory this evening.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued a Yellow Thunderstorm Warning at 4:30 pm, in force until 6:30 pm, and advised residents to closely monitor weather updates before heading home from school or work.
