Parts of Hong Kong, including densely populated areas in the eastern part of the island, received more than 100 millimeters of rain in six hours, according to the National Meteorological Observatory, Bloomberg reported. Forecasters predict more rain on Friday and Saturday. The current bad weather is due to low atmospheric pressure.
