What is a Severe Weather condition for HKEX?
A Severe Weather condition is typically defined by the issuance of a Typhoon Signal or Black Rainstorm Warning by the Hong Kong Observatory. The Hong Kong Government may also declare Extreme Conditions in situations such as significant disruption of public transport services, extensive flooding, major landslides, large-scale power outages, or other adverse circumstances. Under such conditions, the market will be closed.
In such cases, any orders you place are subject to cancellation, after which you may have to resubmit the order. The decision to close the market due to severe weather conditions is made by the Hong Kong government on an ad-hoc basis, and there is no fixed calendar for such occurrences.
You can find more details on Severe Weather conditions here.
