The Hong Kong Observatory cancelled the No 1 warning signal on Sunday afternoon as Typhoon Danas moved away from the city, with the forecaster also warning residents to be wary of the extreme heat.
“In the past few hours, Danas accelerated northeastwards, moving away from Hong Kong gradually,” it said.
Danas, which means “to experience” or “to feel” in Tagalog, was estimated to be about 460km (285 miles) east of Hong Kong at around 1pm, the forecaster said.
It is expected to move northeast at about 10km/h (6.2mph) in the direction of the western coast of Taiwan in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait.
The forecaster also issued a very hot weather warning at 10.45am, as temperatures across the city reached 34 degrees Celsius or above by noon.
