Hong Kong's weather forecaster has warned that heavy showers may affect the city on Sunday, a day after it was drenched in its second black rainstorm in a week.
'Under the influence of an active southwest monsoon, heavy showers and thunderstorms continue to develop in the vicinity of the Pearl River Delta,' the Observatory said.
'They may affect Hong Kong shortly. Members of the public should be on the alert.'
The forecaster added that a thunderstorm warning that had been issued shortly before 7pm on Saturday would remain in effect on Sunday until at least 12.30pm.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department said that red flags had been hoisted at several beaches in Hong Kong, including Deep Water Bay Beach on Hong Kong Island and Hap Mun Bay Beach in Sai Kung district.
