Hong Kong Schools and Businesses Close as Typhoon Toraji Triggers T8 Warning

The tropical storm is expected to weaken and move away, allowing afternoon classes to resume and business operations to normalize.

Hong Kong issued the third-highest typhoon warning as Typhoon Toraji passed 150km south of the city.
The T8 signal prompted the closure of schools and some businesses, with transport services disrupted.
The Hong Kong Observatory plans to lower the warning to signal 3 by 10.20am, as winds are expected to moderate.
Despite the storm, the Hong Kong stock market remained open for the first time during a T8 warning.
Airport operations continued normally, with over 1,000 flights expected, though travelers were advised to check with airlines.
