Hong Kong records 56% more monthly rainfall in July thanks to Typhoon Wipha
Hong Kong recorded a rainy July with monthly rainfall hitting 56 per cent 'above the normal' levels following a 'very dry' first half of the year, according to the city's forecaster. The Hong Kong Observatory said on Monday that the city experienced 'more significant rainfall' in July, recording 601.7mm (24 inches), or around 56 per cent above the climatological normal of 385.8mm. The increased rainfall was due to remnants of tropical cyclone Danas in early July and Typhoon Wipha in mid-July, as well as showers associated with troughs of low pressure and active southwesterly airstreams during the month, the forecaster said. On July 20, Wipha brought the city to a standstill as a No 8 signal or above was in force for 19 hours on the day, including seven hours for the highest No 10 hurricane warning. More than 33 people were injured, with at least 2,284 fallen tree reports, seven flooding incidents and more than 500 flights cancelled. The Observatory issued No 1 typhoon signal Dana for 50 hours between July 4 and 6.
