Hong Kong’s first typhoon of the year passes swiftly

The first typhoon to hit Hong Kong this year came and went swiftly.  On 1st of June, the Observatory downgraded the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 to Standby Signal No. 1 as Maliksi further weakened into a Tropical Depression and, subsequently, an area of low pressure.

The Observatory said showers will ease off gradually on 2nd June with some sunny intervals. In Central part of Hong Kong, a 20 to 30-metres tall tree collapsed on the road. Firefighters removed the fallen tree branch. No one was injured in the incident.
