It is the fourth amber rainstorm warning in a week that would be forecasted by Hong Kong Observatory, as the heavy rain continues to batter the city.
The Hong Kong weather watchdog issued the warning at 8.30 am that stated that heavy rain, exceeding 30 millimetres in an hour, had fallen or was expected to fall over the city and was likely to continue.
“There will be flooding in some low-lying and poorly drained areas. People who are likely to be affected should take necessary precautions to reduce their exposure to risk posed by the heavy rain and flooding,” the Observatory said.
The amber rainstorm warnings of the year were issued last Thursday, Saturday and the third on Sunday.
The weather forecaster added that heavy rain might cause flash floods, and residents should stay away from the shoreline.
It said a thunderstorm warning issued at 4:45 am would remain in force until 10:45 am.
Squally thunderstorms were also expected, with intense gusts reaching 70km/h (43mph).
Intense thundery showers associated with a trough of low pressure were affecting the coastal areas of Guangdong province, the forecaster said.
It was stated that the weather would remain unsettled with occasional showers and thunderstorms in the next few days.
Temperatures for the coming nine days were expected to range between 22°C and 31°C forecaster said.
