According to the guidance of the HKEAA, if the Observatory issues a black rainstorm warning before the start of the examination, the public examination will be postponed, and the HKEAA will announce it about two hours before the original examination start time.

However, if the Observatory issues a rainstorm warning during the exam, the exam will continue as long as it is safe to do so.
