Hong Kong, which was battered by a super typhoon last week, faces the prospect of another day of disruptions caused by intense rain from a different storm.
The government will decide whether to suspend work and schools by 6 a.m. local time, according to a statement on its website. The observatory raised the highest ‘black’ rainstorm warning at 11:05 p.m. local time, which remained in place as of 5 a.m. The rain has been caused by the remnants of another typhoon, Haikui.
Under local stock exchange rules, morning trading will be delayed if the black rainstorm warning is still up by 7 a.m. The morning session of the stock market will be canceled if the warning continues to be raised by 9 a.m.
