The Amber Rainstorm Warning is now in effect as a trough of low pressure is bringing heavy thundery showers to the coast of Guangdong.

The weather forecaster warns of flooding in low-lying and poorly drained areas.

Heavy rain was hitting Wan Chai. Residents without umbrellas took shelter at MTR exits. 

The rain in Tsim Sha Tsui was relatively lighter, though visibility over Victoria Harbour remained poor.

At a coffee festival in the West Kowloon Cultural District, visitors were braving the rain to enjoy their brews.

The rain turned the grass into a muddy field, prompting organizers to lay down plastic boards to help people get around.
