Hongkongers can expect squally thunderstorms and violent gusts on Saturday afternoon, the Observatory has said.
“An area of intense thundery showers to the west of the Pearl River [Delta] is gradually edging closer to Hong Kong,” the forecaster said.
“Locally, showers will be heavier at first, with severe squally thunderstorms in the next couple of hours. Members of the public should be on the alert.”
It also called on residents to seek safe shelter “immediately” as violent gusts could affect the city.
The forecaster said the weather would be mainly cloudy with a few showers, with easterly winds to strengthen gradually from the north.
