Hongkongers should brace for widespread heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday, the city's weather forecaster has said after issuing an amber rainstorm warning.
The signal was raised at 8.35am on Thursday, hours after the Hong Kong Observatory issued a higher-level red rainstorm warning at 11.46pm the previous day.
'Widespread heavy rain may affect Hong Kong in a couple of hours. Members of the public should be on the alert,' the forecaster said.
An amber rainstorm warning means heavy rain exceeding 30mm has fallen or is expected to fall in an hour.
According to the Observatory's forecast, the remnant of Tropical Cyclone Danas will move southwest across eastern Guangdong and might skirt near Guangzhou.
