The city also marked its longest black rainstorm warning, with the highest-level alert in force for more than 12 hours by noon. The longest black rain warning previously was in 1999, which lasted five hours and 47 minutes.The Observatory cancelled all signals at 4.45pm, after downgrading the black warning at 3.40pm to amber, the lowest level in the three-tier system.A total of 132 people, aged between eight years and 94, were treated in hospital, as of 5pm, including two men and two women in serious condition.

The MTR Corporation suspended services between Shek Kip Mei and Choi Hung because of flooding near the Wong Tai Sin section of the Kwun Tong line.

Trains from Choi Hung to Tiu Keng Leng will be maintained at 12-minute intervals and those from Whampoa to Shek Kip Mei will run every six minutes. The rail giant said it could not provide shuttle buses because of the weather.

The highest measurement of rainfall in an hour was reported since records began in 1884, with 158.1mm (6.2 inches) of rain recorded at the Observatory headquarters between 11pm and midnight on Thursday.

The black rainstorm alert was issued on Thursday night, the first since October 2021.

The torrential rain, which continued into Friday morning, also forced the closure of border control points at Heung Yuen Wai and Man Kam To, as well as services at city immigration offices, all public clinics and postal operations.

這座城市也創下了最長的黑色暴雨警告記錄，截至中午時分，最高級別的警報已經生效超過12個小時。

此前最長的黑色暴雨警告記錄是在1999年，持續了5小時47分鐘。

天文台在下午3時40分將黑色警告降級為黃色警告，最低級別，並在下午4時45分取消了所有警報。

截至下午5時，共有132人入院治療，年齡從8歲到94歲不等，其中包括兩名男性和兩名女性情況嚴重。

由於觀塘綫黃大仙段附近出現洪水，港鐵公司停止了石硤尾至彩虹之間的服務。

從彩虹至調景嶺的列車將維持每12分鐘一班，而黃埔至石硤尾的列車將每6分鐘一班。

由於天氣原因，鐵路公司無法提供接駁巴士。

自1884年開始記錄以來，報告了最高一小時的降雨量，天文台總部在星期四晚上11點至午夜之間記錄到158.1毫米（6.2英寸）的降雨量。

這次黑色暴雨警報是在星期四晚上發出的，自2021年10月以來的第一次。

這場豪雨持續到星期五早上，還迫使香港入境事務處的邊境管制站、香港入境事務處的服務、所有公立診所和郵政業務暫停。

雖然落大雨有機會發出紅色或黑色，所以全港學生哥都唔使返學，但大家記住落大雨嘅時候要小心， 留意附近交通情況， 預返多啲返工返學啊～！
