Hong Kong’s nature lovers were reminded to take extra precautions when hiking this weekend and to avoid hiking along ravines as unstable weather persists, said Hong Kong Observatory Director Cheng Cho-ming. He noted the weather during the weekend remains unstable, with the potential for rainstorms to occur. “Flash floods may take place under the adverse weather; citizens must pay extra precautions when hiking this weekend and avoid the ravines,” he said. Classes of all AM schools and whole-day schools were suspended for the day after the warning signal was issued. The signal was downgraded to the amber signal at 7.05am, with the Observatory canceling all rainstorm warning signals at 7.40am.
