Tropical Cyclone Danas brings torrential rain to Hong Kong over the weekend
Hong Kong woke up to night-like dark skies, rolling thunder, and an absolute deluge this morning. Under the influence of Tropical Cyclone Danas moving southwest across eastern Guangdong today, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) has issued a Red Rainstorm Warning signal at 9.36am, later downgrading it slightly to an Amber Rainstorm Warning at 10.40am. According to the weather watchdog, it looks like heavy downpours will persist into the weekend. With the remnant of Danas and an active southwest monsoon, there will be heavy showers and squally thunderstorms over the territories at least for the next couple of days. The forecast for both today, July 10, and Friday indicate thunderstorms and heavy downpours, with temperatures reaching a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There will still be showers on Saturday, and as the rain eases off moving into early next week, temperatures are set to get very hot, reaching a maximum of 34 degrees Celsius next Tuesday, July 15. As there is both torrential rain and a relatively strong southwest monsoon at play, the HKO has warned that the weather over these two days will be relatively severe, with intense gusts affecting the city. As of 9.50am, gusts measuring approximately 75km per hour were recorded at Waglan Island. Members of the public should seek safe shelter if outdoors, stay away from watercourses, and be wary of flash floods. Keep an eye on the weather at the HKO website.

Japan's Chiikawa Ramen Buta is set to open in Hong Kong this August
In case you've been living under a rock, the little critters from Chiikawa are arguably the most popular animated characters of the moment, due to their adorable looks and quirky personalities. From their large-scale exhibition set to open in August to their collaboration with McDonald's, these animated characters have taken the city by storm. Ever experienced that surge of cute aggression where you just want to bite something because it's so adorable? Well, you'll soon be able to do just that, because Chiikawa have just announced on Instagram that they're bringing Japan's massively popular Chiikawa Ramen Buta – a Chiikawa-themed ramen restaurant – to Hong Kong. The Japanese animated series has teamed up with local hospitality group Flames Concepts and is set to unveil the Hong Kong location by mid-August. While there aren't many details yet about what will be available at our city's outpost, Hongkongers will likely get to slurp up bowls of Chiikawa-themed ramen in a restaurant fully decked out with these adorable characters. Based on what we've seen on social media, diners can order bowls of tonkotsu broth ramen, which come in three different sizes and have their corresponding characters – mini (Chiikawa), small (Hachiware), and large (Usagi). Each ramen order comes topped with chashu, garlic, and a character-shaped piece of fish cake. Plus, diners will receive a sticker of the character based on their bowl size. Stay tuned to our page as we find out more details about this ridiculously adorable ramen restaurant closer to August.
