Hong Kong to fall in ‘dangerous semicircle’ of ‘king of storms’ Ragasa: experts?
Updated: 3:57am, 24 Sep 2025
Meteorologists say Ragasa’s projected path resembles Mangkhut’s and Hato’s, but could bring even more violent winds and cause greater damage
Super Typhoon Ragasa could be even stronger than previous severe weather systems that hit Hong Kong, with the “king of storms” taking a “worryingly similar” path to Hato and Mangkhut and leaving the city in a “dangerous semicircle”, meteorologists have warned.
With a projected path resembling that of the super typhoons Hato, which struck the city in 2017, and Mangkhut in 2018, Ragasa presented a significant threat and could bring even more violent winds to Hong Kong, they noted.
Dubbed the “king of storms” by the China Meteorological Administration, Ragasa is expected to be the most powerful typhoon to make landfall in the country this year.
Hong Kong car owners race to higher ground to escape Ragasa’s feared storm surge
Hongkongers scramble to move cars out of flood-prone areas, with coastal water levels expected to rise as high as five metres in Tolo Harbour

Hongkongers were rushing to park their cars on higher ground and in covered spaces on Tuesday as flooding from Super Typhoon Ragasa was expected to inundate low-lying and coastal areas.
Several major indoor car parks had long queues stretching out of their entrances in the morning, including the Tai Po Mega Mall car park, which accommodates more than 1,000 vehicles.
Meanwhile, some underground and open-air car parks were closed or evacuated as a precautionary measure.
A storm surge of about two metres is expected on Wednesday morning, when Ragasa is forecast to be closest to Hong Kong, with the coastal water level reaching around 3.5 to four metres above chart datum, and as high as four to five metres in Tolo Harbour.
In Chai Wan, the underground car park at Wan Tsui Shopping Centre has been closed ahead of Ragasa. The Post understands that it has been shut since Monday morning in anticipation of the typhoon.
Managed by Link Reit, the car park is prone to flooding and vehicles parked there were badly damaged during recent black rainstorms.
The car park’s entrances had been sealed, with its main entrance protected by flood barriers, the Post observed. |
