Last week, Hong Kong Observatory forecast rain for most of the week, yet we saw sunshine instead.

Good news for this weekend! It appears that the rain (that had finally come) is going away (we have been chanting “rain rain go away” and it seems to have worked!) with only a few showers coming on Saturday, Monday & Tuesday, with a lovely clear day forecast for Sunday.

Unfortunately it still looks like it will rain for Tuen Ng (Dragon Boat) Festival on Thursday.
