【14:59】熱帶風暴「獅子山」襲港，天文台發出3號強風信號，半日內經歷黃色、紅色、黑色暴雨警告，更在1.5小時內先由紅雨轉黑雨，再轉回紅雨。
中小學上午維持課堂，有家長表示，今早雨勢時大時細，「有遮都冇用」，鞋襪全濕透，接子女上學狼狽不堪，若能提早發出紅雨較佳；也有家長指，學校距家只有約十分鐘路程，早上雨況對接送影響不大，也形容「天意無計。」

重陽節或再打風
【13:08】「一風未平，一風又起」，天文台預料現時位於菲律賓以東的廣闊低壓區會在下周初逐步發展並移向呂宋一帶，隨後可能進入並橫過南海北部，較為靠近華南沿岸。歐洲預報系統則料，該低壓區大致移向海南島，下周二（12日）或逼近本港400公里範圍內，與內地中央氣象台的預測相若。該新熱帶氣旋料命名「圓規」（Kompasu，日本提供名稱）。
