Hong Kong Weather

Hong Kong last month recorded its hottest April since meteorological records began in 1884, according to the city's weather observatory.

China witnessed an excessive thunderstorm that caused nearly 10,000 lightning strikes on Hong Kong. The thunderstorm caused delays at Hong Kong's international airport and caused damage to a Cantonese opera theatre.

The weather bureau issued the highest "black" rainstorm warning and said more than 200 mm of rainfall was recorded on Hong Kong's main island, Kowloon and the northeastern part of the city's New Territories since Thursday night.

A Cathay Pacific flight from New York to Hong Kong was stranded for more than 16 hours in a Chinese city with all 256 passengers kept on board for the entire time late last month because of immigration regulations, bad weather and limits on the crew's work hours.

Di Canio, whose side play Manchester City on Saturday in the final of the Hong Kong exhibition tournament, was also scathing about the dire state of the pitch. "It's obvious that I couldn't imagine this kind of weather," the famously feisty Italian said.
