The Hong Kong Observatory lowered its warning to standby signal No. 1 from the third-highest warning issued Sunday as Cyclone Roke weakened after entering the inland area of China’s southern Guangdong province.
Some ferry services resumed operations. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. and Hong Kong Express Airways Ltd. earlier said flight operations remained normal, while MTR Corp. said trains and buses were running as usual. The agency said it would cancel all warning signals after winds weaken further.
