Hong Kong Commute Disrupted by Fourth Black Rain Alert in a Week
Hong Kong temporarily closed some government services and commuters faced disruptions after the city issued its fourth black rain warning in a week, the most since records began almost three decades ago.
Hourly rainfall in some areas exceeded more than 100 millimeters (3.9 inches) on Tuesday morning, and the warning will remain in effect until at least 11 a.m. local time, according to the Hong Kong Observatory. The latest alert follows a black rain signal that was issued late Monday and lasted a few hours.
