Hong Kong is regularly hit by monsoon-like rains as well as typhoons, which can cause floods and dangerous landslides. Main season for typhoons is from May to October.

A Typhoon 8 warning may result in significant traffic disruption, air traffic restrictions and closure of all public buildings.

Also the heavy rain warning level „Black Rain“ can be expected to cause significant impairments and closures of public facilities.

Follow weather reports regularly and watch out for storm warnings from Hong Kong Observatory.

We take the safety of our visitors and staff very seriously. Following the guidelines set by the Hong Kong Observatory, the Consulate General will be closed when a typhoon signal 8 or higher is raised. For the opening hours for heavy rain warning level „Black Rain“ please refer to special announcements on the main website www.hongkong.diplo.de and the social media accounts.

If you have an appointment with the Consulate General, the relevant section will contact you regarding rearrangements or rescheduling.
