Severe thunderstorms delayed all flights in/out of HK.

30% of the average June rainfall happened in about 6hrs yesterday.

The airways through Mainland China limited. Once the storms cleared everyone wanted to go at once.....most therefore incured further delays.

We waited in the cockpit 4hrs before we could get fuel (lightning restricted refuelling ops)

No statistics are out yet from the Airport Authority about diversions etc
