Squally Thunderstorms Set to Hit Parts of Hong Kong Within Hours Hong Kong's residents are no strangers to sudden weather changes, but the latest forecast is raising concerns about more than just umbrellas and puddles.
The city's forecaster has warned that squally thunderstorms will hit parts of the territory within hours. The city's subtropical monsoon climate means heavy rain showers during summer months are common.
Hong Kong has already seen periods of heavy rain over the past few days, with a red rainstorm warning on Monday followed by an amber warning for nearly five hours.
