Adverse Weather Conditions

TIG monitors the Hong Kong Observatory website (www.hkobservatory.com) for real time weather information but due to Hong Kong’s mountainous geography, microclimates exist around the region, meaning that local weather conditions may differ from those posted on the internet. Decisions regarding camp programme activities and operations in inclement weather will be made by TIG’s Programme Manager.

Rain and Rainstorms – Information about rain and rainstorms around Hong Kong are shown on the Hong Kong Observatory website. See http://www.weather.gov.hk/wservice/warning/rainstor.htm for an explanation of Hong Kong’s rainstorm warning signals.

1. The Programme will continue as scheduled in rain unless there is a safety concern for the activity, in which case TIG may run contingency activities which may be indoor or outdoor activities, as TIG shall deem suitable.
2. Prior to the start of the Programme
3. If there is Amber or Red rainstorm warning, the Programme will continue as scheduled with such modifications as TIG may consider necessary for the actual weather conditions at operating site.

3. If there is a Black rainstorm warning or the Black rainstorm warning is forecast and TIG decides to postpone or cancel the Programme, all groups will be sent home where practicable, or returned to TIG’s base or other base to take shelter. The Postponement and Cancellation policy shall apply.

Thunderstorms – Information about thunderstorm and lightning around Hong Kong are shown on the Hong Kong Observatory website.

1. TIG will continue as scheduled when localised or intermittent thunderstorms away from TIG’s operating areas are occurring or predicted.

TIG reserves the right to postpone or adjust any Activities or the Programme due to severe weather or other conditions to protect the safety of the Partcipants. In the event of heavy rain or lightning, rain contingency programming will be substituted for the planned activities.

TIG may make changes, cancellations, or substitutions to the Programme for any reason whatsoever including, but not limited to, insufficient enrolment, emergency or changed conditions, or other circumstances beyond TIG’s control which may affect the Programme. TIG will make every attempt to follow the Programme itinerary but TIG reserves the right to alter the itinerary before or during the Programme.
