Hong Kong endured its second-rainiest July ever recorded, according to the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). The city experienced rainfall on all but four days of the month, with a total rainfall amount double the monthly average. Authorities issued an unusually high number of storm warnings—20 amber and 5 red rainstorm alerts—signaling significant disruption. This intense precipitation led to considerable challenges for residents and infrastructure. The HKO confirmed that July 11th, 12th, 22nd, and 24th were the only days without rain. The excessive rainfall highlights potential impacts of climate change and the need for improved preparedness for extreme weather events.
