At 2am, USAGI has passed HK and he is to the NW 90km with rain.
While rain is sometimes strong, the wind has died down considerably since 9pm and similar to a typical HK wind force 5-6 in my area. Hard to see why they maintain a signal 8. Must be the recent overly risk-averse attitude of HK bureaucrats and the desire to add for HKers an additional day of Full-Mon holiday. It will create a chaos of morning air traffic that was not necessary.
Why did CX announce that they will only resume operations by midday Monday??? The wind does not justify the airport to be closed now, not mentioning in afew hours when the sun rise.
