Hong Kong Floods: Hong Kong Hit By Torrential Rains | Schools Shut And Flights Disrupted

A ferocious rainstorm has brought Hong Kong to a near standstill, prompting the city to issue its highest “black” rainstorm warning.

Torrential downpours turned iconic staircases into waterfalls and forced the closure of schools, courts, clinics, and portions of hospitals.

Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just one hour as up to 90mm of rain per hour soaked the city and its surrounding tech hubs in Guangdong.

The airport remained open, but delays plagued flights, and travelers were urged to confirm schedules before leaving home.

Macau issued a Red rain alert while Guangdong faced rising riverbanks and deadly flash floods.

With four rivers at risk of overflowing and massive infrastructure like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge impacted, regional chaos threatens to intensify.

Experts link the escalating deluge to climate change.

Amid the chaos, Hong Kong Disneyland surprisingly remained open, continuing its scheduled “Friendtastic!

Parade.” #HongKongFloods #BlackRainstorm #ChinaWeatherCrisis #ExtremeRainfall #ClimateCrisis #GuangdongFloods #MacauStorm #PearlRiverDelta #RainstormAlert #FlightCancellations #CourtShutdown #HongKongSchoolsClosed #FloodEmergency #XiJinpingGBA #GreaterBayArea #DisasterWeather #TorrentialRain #HongKongLightning #WeatherWarningChina #DisneylandOpen ~HT.318~ED.103~
