Hong Kong Faces Extended Heavy Rain, Multiple Storm Warnings

Hong Kong is experiencing a period of unsettled and rainy weather, with the Hong Kong Observatory issuing an Amber Rainstorm Warning followed by the first Black Rainstorm Warning of the year due to heavy downpours, particularly in the eastern and southern districts. A broad trough of low pressure and an active southwesterly airstream are causing frequent showers, thunderstorms, and intense rainfall, with a forecast of continuous rain from July 28 to August 6. Tropical Storm Co-May, moving near the East China Sea, adds to the unstable weather conditions. The rainstorm warnings have led to safety advisories for schools and workplaces, urging people to stay put if warnings are issued after they have already traveled. Temperatures remain high, with intense heat during sunny intervals, and the weather is expected to remain unsettled with occasional sunny breaks until mid-next week. Despite multiple tropical cyclones in the Pacific, Hong Kong itself is unlikely to be directly impacted by them, though heavy showers will persist due to monsoon and pressure system dynamics.
