Entering the rainy season, Hong Kong has experienced several days of rainy days. The Hong Kong Observatory issued a red rainstorm warning this morning (8th), marking the second red rain this year.
Under red rain, more than 50 mm of rainfall was recorded in many parts of Hong Kong, and more than 70 mm of rainfall was recorded in Tai Po and Lantau Island.
The Observatory predicts that a trough of low pressure will linger along the coast of Guangdong in the next two to three days, continuing to bring heavy showers and squally thunderstorms to Hong Kong.
However, the trough of low pressure will bring unstable weather to southern China again in the middle of next week, and thunderstorms are expected to usher in the middle of next week.

The observatory has set up a summer internship scholarship for college students with more than 10,000 yuan. Science, creative media and other subjects can apply for JUPAS | The observatory can be tested for the position of the observatory. The observatory relies on the balloon "8 to 8" to sound out the King's Park to become the first certified 100-year-old high-altitude observatory.
