Many districts in Hong Kong recorded over 40mm today (11th).
The Observatory said that as of 1 p.m., more than 150 mm of rainfall was recorded in Sai Kung and southwestern Lantau.
Acting Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, Chen Pak-wai, said that the actual rainfall in the next two to three days is still difficult to predict, but it will continue to bring rain to Hong Kong.
He also explained that the current warning system related to rainstorms can be implemented as soon as more than 10 minutes ago. The earlier the relevant signal is sent to the public, the greater the risk of "false reporting", and he also said that he has contacted the relevant departments of the Education Bureau.
Chen Baiwei continued that the principle of measuring rainfall in Macau, Zhuhai and other regions is the same as that of Hong Kong, but even if the geographical location is similar, the accumulated rainfall in the region today is several times that of Hong Kong, so there are relevant school suspension arrangements.
Rainfall distribution varies, half-day in Sai Kung 150mm, Shatin, Tai Po, only 40mm
The acting director of the Hong Kong Observatory, Chen Baiwei, said that the rain will still be quite heavy on Thursday and Friday.
The rainfall distribution recorded in many parts of Hong Kong today varies. Sai Kung and southwestern Lantau Island are the heaviest, with more than 150 mm of rainfall recorded as of 1 p.m., while only about 30 to 40 mm of rainfall in Sha Tin and Tai Po.
Only mentioning the belt cover, such as the suspension of classes in Zhuhai and Macao, Acting Director Chen Baiwei: The three places are similar but the rainfall is obviously uneven
When asked why nearby areas such as Macau, Zhuhai and other areas have issued warnings of class suspension since last night (10th), the Hong Kong Observatory only reminded citizens to bring umbrellas. Chen Baiwei explained that the measurement principle behind it is the same. Although the areas are similar, Macau has More than 100 mm of rainfall was recorded, and 200 mm in Zhuhai, the rainfall was obviously uneven.
Technology has not been able to accurately calculate that the earliest warning can only be issued more than 10 minutes before the rainstorm
As for how the rain will be in the future, whether there will be arrangements for suspension of classes, or which area has more rain, Chen Baiwei said that he has agreed to contact the Education Bureau and other departments, and the current early warning system related to rainstorms can only be used at the fastest 10 minutes before the onset of the rainstorm , the technology has not been able to accurately calculate where the heavy rain will fall; he also said that announcing the forecast too early will only lead to the risk of "false reporting". In summer, strong convection often causes heavy rain, and it is difficult to predict the direction of the rain tomorrow. .
What are the chances of red rain and black rain if the heavy rain falls and the temperature plummets on Sunday?
