10,000 lightning strikes struck Hong Kong
Data from the city's meteorological observatory shows that from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, approximately 10,000 lightning strikes occurred from the clouds to the ground in Hong Kong.
The Chinese city's citizens are ready for unexpected downpours during their workday commutes because they are used to the high humidity levels that occur in April before the monsoon season.
Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m., the sky over Hong Kong put on a spectacular show. As the rain came down, the observatory recorded 5,914 lightning strikes in a single hour.
9,437 ground-to-lighting impacts have been registered by Wednesday at 10:59 am, with the majority occurring in the New Territories East area of Hong Kong.
The second-largest number of strikes occurred on Hong Kong Island, where tall residential buildings were illuminated by almost continual lightning.
A Cantonese opera theater constructed of bamboo scaffolding was battered by strong winds in the eastern Sai Kung region on Tuesday night, as captured on camera and circulated on social media, while the rainstorm on Tuesday night also caused delays at Hong Kong's international airport.
Showers and "squally thunderstorms" would persist through the evening and into Thursday, the observatory reported on Wednesday.
The city had planned a pyrotechnics spectacular on Wednesday evening to mark May 1, the start of China's Golden Week in which Chinese visitors were anticipated to holiday in Hong Kong.
