Mengqian Lu, Professor of Hydrometeorology and Director of the World Sustainable Development Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, discussed the impact of Typhoon Bavi. She explained that despite the storm weakening, its extensive circulation and abundant moisture continue to pose significant risks, including heavy rainfall, flooding, landslides and thunderstorms. She also warned that flooding and landslides may continue to develop in the days ahead, as rivers and saturated ground often take time to respond after the heaviest rain has passed.
