Hong Kong - August 05, 2025 A dramatic video recorded by X user NEERAJ HK captures severe flooding across Hong Kong in August 2025, as streets were submerged and vehicles stranded during a record-setting rainstorm. The storm dropped 14 inches of rain, the highest August total since 1884. The footage shows firefighters wading through floodwaters, struggling to navigate the inundated streets. Daily life was heavily disrupted, with court hearings postponed and flights delayed due to the extreme conditions. The flooding is part of a broader pattern of extreme weather in the region, following heavy rains in Beijing that caused dozens of deaths. Hong Kong’s rainstorm warning system was likely activated as authorities responded to the widespread flooding. NEERAJ HK wrote: “Rainstorm IN Hong Kong August 2025.”
