The city recorded more than 600mm of rain – a quarter of its average annual rainfall.
Heavy rain in Hong Kong and southern China has flooded city streets and some subway stations, with hundreds of people evacuated and two deaths reported in Hong Kong.
The city’s response to the rain and floods has drawn criticism from residents online, who questioned the authorities’ preparedness for such an emergency. Water rushed down the stairs and escalators of a flooded subway station in Hong Kong, and cars were caught in muddy water on flooded streets, including in the cross-harbour tunnel that connects Hong Kong Island with Kowloon.
