Hong Kong will experience a full week of showers and hot weather as a result of a tropical disturbance and southwesterly airstream over southern China, the Observatory has said.

The weather forecaster on Thursday predicted rain for the next nine days, coinciding with a series of activities to mark the 26th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule on Saturday.

Some of the perks and activities include free rides on ferries and trams, admission to major museums, as well as shopping discounts.
