It's been raining a little in Hong Kong. That is nothing new. Hong Kong has somewhere around 150 rainy days every year. May to September are especially wet months. We get more rain in June than October through April combined.
The difference is the hail. That is not something Hong Kong sees with any amount of regularity. There have been fewer than 30 hail storms in the last 50 years.
This weekend's hail storm freaked a lot of people out. It has been a colder than usual winter, at least cold by Hong Kong standards, with some unusually hot days in between. Now we can add hail to the list. Fortune tellers are predicting a turbulent year of the horse.
The hail did not affect me at all. I was mostly indoors this weekend. It did some serious damage to one of the malls close to my apartment, but this is Hong Kong. There are always a hundred other malls within walking distance. Despite, or because of, all the competition, this one will be repaired in record time.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
