Typhoon Ragasa battered Hong Kong early on September 23, 2025, prompting the Hong Kong Observatory to issue a Black Rainstorm Warning and raise Typhoon Signal No. 8. The storm unleashed intense rainfall—over 70 mm per hour—and wind gusts topping 180 km/h, causing flash floods, landslides, and widespread disruption.
Public transport systems, including the MTR, were suspended due to track flooding, while Hong Kong International Airport cancelled more than 120 flights. Schools and government offices were closed, and emergency crews worked to clear debris and assist stranded residents. Experts say Ragasa’s rapid intensification reflects a growing trend of climate-driven superstorms in the region.
